Bug Description
The cellular operator name is currently well hidden, the necessary steps are
- swipe down the indicator bar
- select "Network"
- [scroll down if there are many WiFi networks]
- select "Cellular settings ..."
- find the "Carrier" field at the bottom
Tested with mako HW and image 79.
This is problematic
1. for operator partners, as this simple string is their most important branding element in the daily use of a phone.
2. for phone users, as they want to know in which network they are registered (especially when roaming).
Comparing to reference devices:
- Most "traditional" phones always show this information in the home screen.
- Android shows this information when swiping down the indicator bar.
Any design change obviously would need to take Dual SIM requirements into account.

We are working on adding a cellular item to the indicator per modem which will have detailed information on the operator and roaming status.
