These MNCs use E.212 ITU country codes, which are formatted as a nice 3
digit number, ready to use, and perfectly fit the range after 42 in the
private ASN numbering scheme.
You are right, every operator has a unique network number. But the first 3
digits are the country code (MCC) which we used for the AS'.
The same codes are used in other communication system (including rose over
ax.25 if I remember correctly).

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.
