Hi Ivan,

yes? But how do you intend to fix it? The current structure will not be enough

I understand you want to fill a short-term gap but I don't think it is the right approach to "roaming" at all. At the end of classic roaming one will:

	* Get a yes/no if it is allowed to roam
	* Get subscriber data (MSISDN, ...)
	* The subscribed services (allowed to do telephony)

Right now the code is just about sending different network names. that seems very different from roaming?
