    Is it really so that Time Division Multiplex timing in cellular networks is based on NTP time? I stopped reading after the article implied this - it doesn't sound plausible at all.

      No, it absolutely is not.

      That timing requires a very tight time, frequency and phase reference. It’s derived from local high stability GNSS-disciplined time references.
