Ask them how/why the HBG transmitter screwed up the 2006 leapsecond ?
If I remember correctly then the transmitter would have needed to be overhauled, which would have been very expensive.
Since the German DCF77 transmitter can also be received in Switzerland and DCF77 receivers were much more common than HBG receivers the decision was taken to finish HBG transmission.
