One thing you can be 99.9999999% sure of, is this isn't spook related, the first rule of spook club is you don't announce your presence!

Assuming results are on the money (which seems fair - someone's even tested it with the same phone and found behaviour only effects the Telstra sim), I honestly can't see how this would be for tracking purposes.

There are so many smarter and easier ways. So I either embrace the tin foil hat, and say NSA, but then it apparently doesn't happen on https, so that's a bit weak. The only other angle I can think of is a desire to fulfil a legal requirement and prove what is accessed ala RIAA or some such.

PS. There is a chopper here now too!!! ;)
