When most people communicate with other time zones it's via telephone or email, and when they calculate the destination local time, it's to answer the question "Are they likely to be awake?" or "Are they more likely to be at work or at home?". Having a global time won't solve this problem, you will still have to do the conversion to find out the local time to answer these questions. If you're scheduling radio comms then the Military probably have the correct approach - Zulu time for everything. Sam.
