This file contains one record for each SID coverage area in the IFAST database. If a SID covers multiple coverage areas (e.g. licensed service areas) then the SID information will be repeated for each. Unassigned SID codes are generally not included.
Note that this format changed significantly in April 2014. Most contact information for the carrier was removed and the ISO-3166 two digit country code was added.
