If they do start identifying modem mode users and blocking them without them having opted out then it may cause a bit of a kick-off. VM had the firmware written to allow this service, they could have easily enough specified that it should also work with the device set to modem mode too. The device is certainly capable of doing it.

I don't see how. In modem mode, the radios are turned off. You are suggesting that they further tinker with the firmware to keep the 2.4GHz radio on - maybe not so easy because of the routing functions that must also be enabled.
