Is there documentation somewhere about appropriate methods, either Dbus, sysfs, API calls, etc. for retrieving these various values? Likewise, how this would work with Alternative Line Service?

Not all SIM cards have the SPN field set. Overall, there are four sources of names for network operators: * Service Provider Name (SPN) field on the SIM * CPHS operator name on the SIM card * "Hard-coded" name based on a list that GSMA publishes periodically This is typically stored on the modem firmware * NITZ indications that the network sends What gets displayed on the home screen, for instance, is some combination of these names, depending on certain conditions set on the SIM card, and whether the device is roaming or not.
