Interesting notion but being old fashioned I find it weird to know that if we are all the same time ie 4pm that some countries will need to redefine the working hour times ie. In Australia 1600hrs BMT would be the early hours of the morning.
Guess you could not use the term 9-5 anymore?

New meridian
Internet Time is based on a new Meridian (as opposed to the Greenwich Meridian). This new Meridian goes through Swatch's office in Biel, Switzerland and is called the BMT Meridian.
...
The use of the Biel Meridian introduces an unwanted additional Meridian - the Greenwich Meridian is the standard Meridian of the world.
Wrong use of mean time - The Biel Meridian is not at exactly 15 degrees east longitude, which it should have been if the BMT (Biel Mean Time) should be 1 hour ahead of UTC / GMT (Greenwich Mean Time)
Dearie me.
I see that even Swatch don't believe it will catch on. I bet their watches don't contain a "beat" hand
And there is the Zulu time that already exists, which is at least in hours and minutes.
