It has been noted by the GSMA that in recent Smartphone and OS releases there has been a trend away from persistent display of the Operator Name. Frequently, the Operator Name is not displayed in the Notification bar but instead requires the user to pull down the notification window to find the Operator Name; and on the lock screen, it may be visible sometimes depending on what the lock screen is displaying. The purpose of this document is to define simple requirements to ensure customers have consistent access to the operator name and network connection status.
