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).
