Let us set aside the the merits of the use cases for these features for
the moment ;)  Implementing Call control by USIM is fairly
straightforward to do in the core.  However, no modem manufacturer
currently allows us to have full control over this feature.  It is
implemented in the firmware and every vendor does this differently.  So
for now support of this feature is in the realm of the modem driver.

Please feel free to add a new TODO item adding these features and send
us patches :)

What support are you looking for?  Most of the information that is asked
by provide local info is implemented in the modem firmware.  We have
only included support for items which are not covered by the firmware.

Again, which ones are you looking for?  oFono explicitly ignores the
following two events as these make no sense in the smartphone context:

- Idle Screen Available
- User Activity
