In case you're referring to over-the-air SIM card related messages:
Those are either sent over SMS, Cell Broadcast or BIP. BIP operates
over GPRS, so it is an application layer issue.
The least common denominator is typically SMS, and from the GSM network
(and OsmoNITB) point of view, they are just normal SMSs. You can e.g.
submit them via SMPP from an external program.
So:
* yes you can use OpenBSC to transport OTA messages
* no, we don't implement them as they are outsie of the scope and
implemented as part of an external SMS-sending/receiving program tat
implements SMPP.
