Re: Naval Observatory time To add a data point: I called the Naval Observatory with my PC (1-202-653-0351) on New Year's Eve around 23:50 PST, and received a time value that matched exactly what US network television was displaying as the approach of (local) 1991 was being counted down. The program that did the dialup reported a 0.07 second delay for the round-trip signal propogation, so I have difficulty believing that a delay of 12 seconds is due to networking/routing behaviour.
