  15. >I'm curious. What _does_ AOTC use the clock for themselves? Do they have
  16.  
  17. I believe that they use the clock to maintain time on their systems such
  18. as the keylink email service. I guess that they would also use it in DDN
  19. (Digital Data Network) for clocking the sync. links around the country.
  20. Also they sell the service to banks etc.

  22. >more than one (one in each city), or are they all derived from the one
  23. >source?
  24.  
  25. The one source I think. I believe it is actually in TRL ( telecom research
  26. labs ) in Melbourne.
