The question is: How exactly does the above high-level goal translate into
concrete technical architecture?  Would the goal be to run your complete own
PLMN with the other operators just roaming into that network (i.e. using TCAP/MAP
roaming interface), or are you referring to a 3GPP MOCN / GWCN as per TS 23.251?

Or something else entirely?

In either of the two cases, the current implementation doesn't provide everything
you'd need for such a setup.  But let's continue this discussion once it's more
clear what kind of technical architecture you're looking for.
