Alexandria, VA | Unless you need a precision time source for "something" to operate.
Something like a cell phone. (just one example)
Most -- if not all -- cell phone towers need GPS to provide their precision time sync.
That said, this article only hightlights the potential problem facing all major sets of infrastructure. It's too easy in government funding programs to "cut today and let 'the next guy' fix the problem" ...
... the problem is that the 'next guy' does the same thing.
Eventually 10 years down the road a HUGE bill becomes due and everyone [then] is aghast at the "mis-management" which caused this "huge problem." |
