These kinds of organizations usually don't have maintenance of NTP services very high on the list of their priorities. They have moved their web presence under a different domain, and eventually when the old one expires, it may well be gone forever. Considering the pace this PR changes, that is happening quite soon. Mikes (as mentioned in the original PR), offers public NTP service, and neither the organization, domain nor the services are likely to suddenly disappear, as they are official maintainers of time standards in Finland. (... and more than that, as their front page tells: "MIKES metrology realises the SI system measurement units in Finland.") These official time standards are not freely available, but stratum 2 service is offered at as best effort service. This is described at http://www.mikes.fi/frameset.aspx?url=page.aspx?contentID=318 (Mikes: "Julkinen NTP-palvelu"), which Google can translate to bearable English.
