It doesn't belong there since not all modems will be LTE enabled. In particular those pesky CDMA-only modems or 3G/2G GSM modems. You really need to put this on a separate atom dealing with IMS. And as mentioned before, I still see no actual use-case for this property. Until the usecase is presented, this property should be dropped. Regards, -Denis --===============3866160017522932292==--
