Right, still having a fallback in the database for modems which do not allow to use of any alphanumerical information would be much appreciated, i.e. do we agree that s/mobile-broadband-provider-info/mobile-provider-info/g would be feasible? -- :M: ___ NetworkManager-list mailing list NetworkManager-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list

Ok, I agree with that. Could we at least add countries and provider's that do not necessarily offer mobile broadband but just telephony? A mapping from MCC MNC to country and provider name can be helpful in various ways.

Augmenting mobile-broadband-provider-info
Hi folks, some guys and me are working on the freesmartphone.org projects and recently I stumbled over mobile-broadband-provider-info. As among the network/phone crowd there is a great need for such a central database, we would love to use and base on that. Some things I feel are missing in there though -- would you object to augment it with additional information such as: * full name per country * dial prefix per country * list of timezones per country ? I know that all these information are available from other (often in the form of lists of text) sources, but they are lacking the cross references which we're after -- e.g. to get the timezone for a country that has a certain MCC assigned. I realize it would be more than just a mobile-broadband-provider-info database in that case, but I'd rather see us contributing to this project than creating another one. What do you think?
