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.

Subject: apn list, adding mcc & mnc
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,
