Has anyone approached major ISPs about adding their routers to the
pool? All of the core and edge routers run by my company's ISP (Qwest)
provide stratum-3 or better NTP and keep good time. My home ISP
(Comcast) also provides NTP from their edge routers.

Getting all those resources into the pool would help dramatically, I
think, and not cost the ISPs much at all. In fact, if geographic DNS
could be made to work, it would actually cost the ISPs *less* in
transit & peering traffic to add their routers into the pool than to
not add them.
