You&#x27;ve got it backwards: a company of Google&#x27;s scale can do this because they&#x27;re already providing and administering their own NTP servers. For a company of a smaller scale, that&#x27;s an unnecessary cost.<p>That said, I&#x27;m intrigued at the idea of a public NTP server that does Google-style leap-second smearing. Does anyone know if one exists?
