Out of curiosity, how do you plan to support this on AT modems?  I have
yet to see any AT modem report the NITZ network name via a proprietary
command.

Besides, all AT modems report the NITZ name via COPS.  So in effect
oFono already fulfills this task...

Are you sure? In my experience, the NITZ name may be received moments
after registration, so it would make sense to have an unsolicited
notification of it.

Well, not with ISI modems it doesn't. Also, if we move PLMN name
handling over to oFono, how can you determine if the name reported by
COPS is indeed the NITZ name and as such should take precedence over
the core's PLMN name?

Cheers,
Aki

The NITZ notification does indeed arrive unsolicited.  However, no AT
modem that I know of reports the received NITZ name.  This is only
reported via COPS.  The best you can do is call COPS again after the
driver reports ofono_netreg_time_notify.

Hence the reason for my pointed questions.  I'm a big proponent of
moving the PLMN database to the core, however this needs to work for
both ISI and AT modems.

Then that could work, but this probably needs some prototyping. We
have a test network that actually implements NITZ names, so I can give
it a try.

Right, so you agree to this TODO item?

I agree in principle, I'm just worried about the feasibility.  Ideally
I'd like us to do a bit more due diligence first or reword the task to
include words like 'feasibility' and 'study'.
