Specification updated.
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Networking?action=diff&rev2=157&rev1=155>

Without answers to my last two questions, I have assumed that using the
same APN for Internet and MMS involves sharing the APN URL, user name,
password, authentication, and protocol. I have also left unspecified any
progress feedback when you submit manual APN settings.

** Description changed:

  The current cellular system settings panel has no capability to edit the
  APN.   This is problematic for two reasons:
  
  1. We currently use the mobile-broadband-provider-info database, which
  was originally created for provisioning 3g dongles on the desktop for
  use by ModemManager, and is known to have errors for certain countries
  and/or operators.
  
  2. If an MVNO ( mobile virtual network operator ) SIM is used in the
  phone ( eg. Straigthttalk ), most usually require  manual editing of the
  phone's APN in order to point the phone at the MVNO's APN vs. the
  operator the MVNO is based on.
