TAI zone?

[James.Barrett at fluor.com]

Please remove me from the mailing list.  Too much email concerning this 
issue.  I would suggest meeting in a common virtual space and having a 
live discussion, rather then "replying all" when continuing to have this 
conversation.
 
Thank You,
Terrence Barrett

Probably related to this:

> Now an atomic clock-on-a-chip is available that is the result of 10 
years of government-funded research and development. The chip is not cheap 
— $1,500 — but it costs less than conventional atomic clocks and the price 
is sure to go down as manufacturing gears up to meet demand from military 
applications.
