This is driven by Ofcom (and potentially the ETSI) requirement that a regulator may dictate that a device MUST contact a listing server operated by the regulator for an approved list of DBs. This is behavior that must be built into the device. For example, a DB can inform the device that it is in the UK, but the device must map "UK" to the URL of the listing server specified by the UK regulator. > **** > > ** ** > > In section 4.1.1 you state “Specific message formats are defined by the > regulators”.
