Some providers, MVNO's like Cubic and MaxxRoam, provide SIMs which are always

roaming. It would be nice to keep track of this in the mbpi so that network

managers can *ignore* any user settings which say, "do not allow roaming". SIM

cards from MaxxRoam and Cubic *alway* require roaming. The user's preference

should be ignored.

I've attached a patch which adds an attribute to the provider. This will allow connection managers to be smart.

Thoughts?
