What does WWV/H provide that's not better provided by multiple new redundant
systems?
Time is able to be provided by NTP over the public internet to within 10 ms.
1588 can get this down to the sub microsecond.
Frequency can be provided must more accurate via GPS/GNSS, and for $100 you
can get a GPSDO which provides 10mhz and phase down to 10^-13.
Prorogation reports? The internet provides them faster and with more detail.
Not one company makes a HF disciplined reference:

Other than whimsical radio memories, I don't see much value to WWV/H.
