Who uses 1PPS?  In industry they are used to phase lock various
oscillators.   I would bet most of those oscillators are used in the
telecommunications industry both for bit rate clocks and for carrier
frequency synthesis.

We also see a lot of 1 PPS used for NTP servers that in turn are used to
keep computer internal time of day clocks running at the correct rate.
