While seemingly trivial, this actually has a huge impact on user
experience. The problem is that there's no good meta-data for the user
to make the decision as to which service is the one they want.
Yes. The lack of meta-data makes it difficult to make a good decision.
In the case of the mobile-broadband-provider-info the <name> element
from the parent provider element would be helpful:

Also, I'm not sure how this impacts connman? In theory it is supposed
to auto-activate the internet context, and if there are multiple one of
these, I'm not sure if it gets confused?
I haven't looked at connman (yet). Couldn't connman create an empty
internet context if it gets confused? (just like the one ofono creates
when provision fails.)
The typical guidance is that if a database contains potential
duplicates, then a UI Wizard is needed to guide the user to choose the
appropriate one and provision the context that way.
Yes, but wouldn't that require access to the duplicate entries to be
able to create the wizard?
Alternatively, provide a provisioning database without conflicts,
perhaps specific to the users / operators you're targeting.
That removes the convenience from relying on the
mobile-broadband-provider-info maintained by upstream.
