I've been talking about this exact issue with Marcel but so far we have not 
firmly agreed on any solution.  Our current thinking is to keep Powered 
semantics as they are, but to also add Flight mode property.  This would in 
affect allow interaction with the SIM while the radio is off.  For some modems 
it might not even make sense to support flight mode (e.g. HFP)

We're also trying to figure out how this would interact with SIM removal / SIM 
dead events.

If you have strong feelings about a particular approach feel free to discuss 
it here or on IRC.

Regards,
-Denis
