+<p>This section describes the ideas that underly the Comms Database. </p>
+<p>The Comms Database provides system wide storage for communications related
+settings. The Comms Database holds information about Internet Access Providers
+(IAPs), Internet Service Providers (ISPs), GPRS, modems, locations, charge-cards,
+proxies, WAP settings etc. The Comms Database holds this information as a
+set of related tables. </p>
+<p>Symbian platform defines the format of this information, but the Comms
+Database can also contain user-defined data. Symbian support for user-defined
+data is limited to backup and security. </p>
+<p>Tools and applications that manage voice and data transmissions use the
+Comms Database. </p>
+<p>The Comms Database is a persistent store. Tools and applications use the
+CommsDat API to access the data in the Comms Database. The CommsDat API hides
+the structure of the data on the database. The CommsDat API also hides the
+implementation of the database, and allows the implementation to change in
+future versions of Symbian platform without a change to client code. </p>
+<p>The current version of Symbian platform implements the Comms
+Database in the Central Repository. </p>
+<p>The Comms Database is available on all Symbian platforms. </p>
