no, this is an open forum, so this is not forbidden.

why? Using a PPG for transmitting the MMS notifications is of course 
"the clean way". But our MMSC has also the ability to push MMS 
notifications directly via SMS.

Basically this makes more sense, in terms when you really want to 
control what kind of PDU you want to be transmitted to the phone. In 
case the PPG has a way of sending the notification PDU that some 
phones don't like.

The lack in commercial support commitment is not due to "not willing". 
It's more due to the fact that the business model is to weak (in terms 
of revenues).
