I was a 14 year old who attended the initial launch at MIT. I remember at the time thinking: why have a random synthetic time, perhaps we can just accept GMT as internet time.

I still don't understand why you'd have Beil Mean Time - perhaps I haven't grown.

What would the internet time be when GMT areas are on BST? Surely you mean accept UTC time.

GMT doesn't change twice a year. GMT doesn't mean "the time people in Greenwich observe", it means, roughly, the solar mean time of Greenwich.

Who uses GMT in the summer? My bigger point is that metrologists and/or people that care about time use UTC not GMT.
