We've been talking about a "Stratum 0 Consortium" for Network Time
Foundation.

This is an example of one of the things that I think it could help with.

The biggest stumbling blocks I see is that NTF doesn't have anywhere
near an operational budget yet, and the obvious folks who would join
such a consortium don't have budget for that either.
