I guess what I'm trying to understand is, is having your own NTP server just a luxury? I personally would like to have my own, I just need to pitch its advantages to my company. Unless everyone here on the NANOG group clearly spells it out to me that it's a luxury. I can see it as an added service/benefit though to our customers.....

For those you care about that:
