Title:
  Cellular operator name should be more visible

Status in Network Menu:
  New
Status in The Unity 8 shell:
  New
Status in “indicator-network” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

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.
