In this case only the Mobile Country Code is used. Just like in CCS7 for
D-Star and DMR stations.
(Yes, some countries have several Mobile Country Codes and some don't. I
haven't done any research if the number of MNCs correlates to the size
of the country/the population, so I don't say the system provides a
faire distribution, but it comes closer than using 1 same length
identifier for every country.)
Also incorporating the subnet into the ASN might not fly everywhere, as
some border routers may announce several prefixes on behalf of other
routers (not capable of BGP).

They are the codes used by mobile phone operators to uniquely identify

When I fist read this information about using these codes for ASN i
thought it was odd. Why use mobile network codes when almost each
country has several mobile network provider, meaning several network
codes? That is confusing.
Why not using country codes, or even better, to stay in amateur radio,
DXCC entity codes. That would provide single code for each country (or
entity).
