For what it's worth, I did ask our primary support representative from
our corporate ISP here in the USA to put their servers into the pool.
He said he would try to figure out whom was responsible for something
like that, and forward the request. I never heard anything else about
it, much as I expected.
I think for "non-mission-critical" requests like this, we will see a
bureaucracy problem at many major ISPs. Most are also huge phone or
cable operators, and suffer from decades of institutional overhead.
Also, many tier-2 or smaller ISPs would not want to do anything that
would increase their transport costs to tier-1 networks. Serving to
the NTP pool would add pennies per month to their bills, but I think
perhaps some would be scared off by memories of the bandwidth costs
from something like the NETGEAR-Wisconsin debacle.
