Operators share mcc/mnc meaning that automatically finding the best AP =

(the one most likely to work) from the database may involve some sort of =

fuzzy logic (partial or case-insensitive name comparison or something =

like this) implemented in a product-specific provisioning plugin. Making =

things work out-the-box translates into fewer customer complaints, =

better user experience and is generally the right thing to do.

I was trying to share a piece of code that doesn't involve any =

product-specific logic and yet might be useful to others.

Please let me know if I should give it another try, otherwise I won't =

waste anyone's time and this code will just remain in our branch of ofono.

Thanks,
-Slava
