I have this great idea.  When two people are in different time zones and they
are planning things in which they need to do things at the same time despite
the different zones they are in, they should communicate by expressing the
times in a single standard time zone.

Who would have ever thought of doing such a thing?

How easy will it be to get this patented?  What are the up front costs?
What are the under the table costs?
