I believe that they use the clock to maintain time on their systems such
as the keylink email service. I guess that they would also use it in DDN
(Digital Data Network) for clocking the sync. links around the country.
Also they sell the service to banks etc.

The one source I think. I believe it is actually in TRL ( telecom research
labs ) in Melbourne.
