Re: [44net] Proposal for allocation of AS numbers

I found list of mobile network codes at http://www.mcc-mnc.com/ Now, when I saw the table, I realized that you maybe meant to use MCC (Mobile Country Code) not MNC (Mobile Network code). From the perspective of usability, MCC is ok, but I would still vote to use DXCC entities, for few reasons: - It is amateur radio de-facto standard for designating countries and it relates to every other aspect of amateur radio activities. - DXCC entity codes are already well known to hams so they are familiar to use them. - It follows amateur radio definition of "country" which is not the same as waht is used for MCC. It means amateur radio country may cover several MCC or, reversed, one MCC may cover several amateur radio countries. - If you ever need to link data to other ham radio data sources, if you use DXCC entities that is easy task as other data sources to use DXCC as county designator. If you use MCC, you will have to provide mapping table and make sure it is updated all the time.
