Hi Usama,

"Osmocom" is a very large umbrella project, of which OsmocomBB is only
one small part.  So when referring to OsmocomBB, please always use the
full name, to avoid confusion. Thanks!

In case you're interested, you can also use the Osmocom stack
(OsmoTRX+OsmoBTS+OsmoNITB) on the network side.

I'm puzzled. Why would "show subscriber" list any BTSs ?!?  Please
provide the actual copy+paste output of what you are referring to.

>From what I can tell, "show subscriber" lists the preferred PLMNs and
the forbidden PLMNs as stored on the SIM card.  This makes sense, as
they are attributes related to the subscriber.  But listing visible BTS
on the subscriber somehow wouldn't even make sense, IMHO.

Regards,
	Harald
