- Abstract
- Points representing GSM (2G) mobile network operators within particular countries as of December 2016.
- Purpose
- These data are derived from submissions, made directly to Collins Bartholomew or the GSMA from mobile operators, which provide roaming detail for inclusion in the online mapping application known as Collins Mobile Coverage Web. The data were included as a metadata file to accompany Collins Bartholomew's Mobile Coverage Explorer dataset for 2G service as of 2016, and attempt to list all the networks encompassed in that corresponding dataset.
