Hello all, I’ve sent the following email to Wellark, the
maintainer of the Mobile Broadband Provider Info project, a few weeks ago,
outlining a way to include mobile country codes and mobile network codes in the
MBPI project. In the meantime, we’ve already implemented this scheme in our
company, and have successfully used it to extract the APN’s for two providers
in one country. Would you be interested in using this scheme? As Wellark has
been very busy, he has asked me to forward this message to both the
NetworkManager and the Wader Development mailing list, as he suspects there is
additional interest these development groups in adding country code and network
codes to the MBPI project. Note that I currently have no idea what the
NetworkManager and Wader development groups are, as this is not within the scope
of my current job-assignment. Regards, Martijn. From: Martijn Cox Hi Wellark, I’m a developer for (amongst others), the
blackberry platform. I’ve come across your project, and wish to contribute by
adding the mobile country code and mobile network code to the xml file, based
on the Wikipedia list @ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_Network_Code.
Do you regard such an endeavor as ok?
I would like to add them, according to the following DTD, which is based on
your supplied DTD, with additions in yellow: <!ELEMENT serviceproviders (country*)> <!ATTLIST serviceproviders format CDATA
#REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT country (provider* ,mcc+)> <!ATTLIST country code CDATA
#REQUIRED> <!ELEMENT provider ( mnc+,
name+,
(gsm|cdma),
username?,
password?,
dns*,
gateway?)>
<!ELEMENT name (#PCDATA)> <!ATTLIST name xml:lang CDATA
#IMPLIED> <!ELEMENT gsm (apn)> <!ELEMENT apn (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT cdma EMPTY> <!ELEMENT username (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT password (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT dns (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT gateway (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT mcc (#PCDATA)> <!ELEMENT mnc (#PCDATA)> Do you think that would be ok? The reason
for these additions is that it’s easier to search this way when you have access
to a provider id (mobile network code), and mobile country code (i.s.o. the
country identifier you use, which is currently not available for me). Regards, Martijn Cox Livecontacts B.V. |
