I disagree here. MS Power Control loop support is not just "it supports 
it" or "it doesn't support it". There may be several different 
implementations, or similar implementation may have bugs in a given 
version, etc. Hence it really makes sense for the user to decide whether 
the BTS or the BSC should be in charge of the power control loop for 
each BTS, regardless of the BTS supporting some sort of MS power control 
loop.
