+1 to both

name=* to me would equate to the name that appears on my bank statement,
like "Student Center Post Office ATM" or "Lenox Square Mall ATM".  It
sounds like what you're describing fits in operator=* or brand=*.

I don't know about network=*... even though they're called "networks",
that seems like a different meaning from the existing uses of network=* in
OSM.
