Remarks

The following discusses the use of the ServiceCategoryList elements in a service metadata package:

  • The first ServiceCategory element in the ServiceCategoryList element specifies the service’s primary functional category. The primary functional category should match how the service is advertised, packaged, sold, and ultimately identified by users.

  • Because a service is defined only by its primary functional category, you should specify only one instance of the ServiceCategory element in the ServiceCategoryList element.

  • The ServiceCategory for service metadata packages must be one of the following:

    • Network.MobileBroadband

    • Network.MobileBroadband.CDMA

    • Network.MobileBroadband.GSM

The ServiceCategory element is required.
