operator is Banca March (the bank that set up the atm and puts money
in when it's empty), the network is "Servired" and this could also be
expressed as brand.

This might be OK for most cases. I can imagine cases where it creates
problems, because network could be more then one, brand could then
refer to the brand of the bank that set up the atm and operator would
be the bank that operates it. Brand and operator are not the same in
all cases. Using brand with multiple values feeld incorrect to me,
because it is not the brands of the atm but it is networks where it is
affiliated with.
