Hello, I have a question regarding the Carrier ID and Network ID elements proposed in the DMM FPC protocol. I am trying to a) understand the meaning intended for Carrier and Network; and, b) reconcile these names with what is familiar to me as someone who works for a mobile service provider. The problem that I'm basically running into is that there are only 8 bits assigned each for Carrier ID and Network ID. I am accustomed to utilizing a PLMN, which is composed of an MCC and MNC, each having allowed values up to 999. With only eight bits, there are fewer values than required for either MCC or MNC. Eight bits for Carrier ID and Network ID seems to be quite constrained to me.
I suspect that something else is meant, but I cannot readily surmise what it might be.
