The modem or the SIM?  I think the specs are talking about the SIM here and 
the modems do need to poll and detect SIM dead conditions.  If we were to 
implement a GSM soft-modem, then we'd definitely need to poll...

I think we should drop this capability until we actually see this 'imaginary' 
modem you describe in the wild.  Most vendors intercept everything related to 
SIM / STK and can even do hardware SIM detection.  Makes no sense for us to 
worry about it right now.
