I will go out on a limb and say that a reduction in the cost of 
stratum-1 servers will increase their use across the Internet.  The 
results of such an increase would be arguably visible, as the current 
multi-layer timekeeping system seems to be more-or-less keeping 
clocks correct to the point of usefulness, at least from a 
layer-4-and-up standpoint.  

        The point ought to be made that a dense mesh of stratum-2
        sources is likely more robust/accurate than a single 
        stratum-1 source...
