  • URL_SRC is used as the source attribution when generating p1_mnc.json, but this string no longer mentions txtNation even though gen_dataset.py still imports/uses CSV_TXTN_MCCMNC (txtNation) to add/complete MNC entries. This makes the generated dataset’s declared provenance inaccurate; please include txtNation in URL_SRC (and keep/remove other sources to match what the script actually consumes).
    URL_SRC = 'data aggregated from Wikipedia, The World Factbook (frozen), ITU-T and Egallic blog'

  • Grammar: "Geographical information are taken" should be "Geographical information is taken" (information is uncountable).

  • URL_SRC no longer mentions txtNation, but this generator still consumes txtNation data (CSV_TXTN_MCCMNC) when building the dataset. This makes the source attribution embedded in the generated JSON/Python outputs inaccurate; consider adding txtNation back into URL_SRC (or stop using CSV_TXTN_MCCMNC if it’s intentionally removed).

    URL_LIC = 'produced by P1 Security, based on openly available data'

this is solved in the next PR (small mistake here, but not problematic, it avoids doing all the rebase work)
