The proposal as it is now targets CS Telephony only (no VoLTE support yet)
and on the default SIM card. However, there were talks about a separate API
for picking the provider.
My personal take on this is that I would like to have TelephonyService
objects in the Telephony API which would represent SIM cards, HFP profile,
SIP account, XMPP account, etc. That would give a mechanism to support for
instance VoLTE domain selection (and SRVCC with simpler implementation). I
have a draft for this and would not introduce big changes to this API.

However, the reasoning was to go in smaller steps and try to consolidate
the basic telephony API first.
