But truth be told, I’m not sure that adding Wi-Fi calling to the core of Android adds any value for Google; i.e.: will it get them any more usable data for ads? I realize not everything about Android directly gives Google information, so I could be off-base here, but that’s a though off the top of my head.

If so, then does Google with Android (for example) not implement T-Mobile’s Wi-Fi calling in the kernel to make it standard? They did so with the first Nexus phone but Nexus S didn’t have it. Something’s missing and I can’t figure it out (seems fuzzy).
