We've got two mostly separate things here: 1) APN "type" like you've submitted: wap/handset-internet/broadband-card/mms. This is orthogonal to how it's billed; it's really about how the provider intends it to be used. 2) Billing type: prepaid/postpaid You can have any sort of combination of these; broadband+prepaid, wap +postpaid, etc. So either we probably do need to be able to list multiple of these attributes for each APN. A core problem here is that we're trying to impose some measure of order on this APN system when that's not really how the world works; it's how *most* of the world works. So we have to be careful not to impose too much order, and allow users to override things when we inevitably get things wrong.
