re: #297 Eric The Fruit Bat

The cell towers could also get their time source from their internet backbones as well, via NTP - it would certainly be cheaper than equipping each cell tower with a specialized WWVL receiver that feeds a digital time source into the tower (especially if the tower is hosting multiple cellular providers.)

That’s what your Windows boxes use to set their time - and adjust - automatically.

And if the internet goes down, you’re screwed.
