yeah, we feel painful on the network initialization from UI part now. 
it spends too much time to get this operator list and not only try once. When we
ever change our location, like enter into the elevator, UI will try to get this
list and retry the network initialization. On this moment, dialer is like dead,
we cannot make phone calls, although it displays dialing out UI, actually the
gsm modem is busy, wait for the reply from the network. 

we suggest to remove 'retrieve operator list' code from 'moko-netowork.c'. I am
not sure whether gsmd can get the country code from other command. I will try to
figure it out. But, please remove the code first, coz it makes dialer unfriendly
and inconvenient for user. 

i only try our dialer with Taiwan network and I am not sure the network status
in other countries. Probably gsmd modem can get this operator list in UK very
quickly, but we should consider different networks in other countries. Thanks!
