That depends on what kind of network you are talking about.

If the requirement is to deliver highly accurate frequency and/or ToD to network elements of the service provider, e.g., cellular base stations, the results can be dramatically better. I agree if this is delivered to an uncontrolled client network then the exercise might not be worthwhile.
