The UK-V All Sky Monitor was the first ASM to be used to affect the observing programs of its own and other x-ray astronomy missions targeting temporal and spectral variability. The CGRO/BATSE monitoring of bright hard x-ray sources using the earth-occultation technique and the RXTE/ASM coded mask imaging of the x-ray sky have drastically altered the science that can be addressed from high sensitivity pointed instruments, and not just in the x-ray band. I will discuss the science from the Next Generation X-ray Timing mission that is made possible by the presence of a contemporaneous broad band ( ~1 to >200 keV) all sky monitor. This includes, but is not limited to, identifying galactic black holes in transient sources, studying accretion phenomena over a wide range of accretion rates onto neutron stars and black holes, and relating multiwavelength phenomena, such as jet emission in the radio to spectral variability in the x-ray in microquasars.
