By coincidence I was reading about how applications work on Android earlier this week and was quite impressed with the security model.

Application packages have to declare the permissions that they need and those permissions are then granted or denied at install time. So presumably an application should have to declare that it wants to be able to control roaming and the phone user can deny it the ability to do so.

I would want to know if Android supports defaults for permissions, so that permission for turning on roaming can be set to always denied.

Also, do the global phone settings always override requests from apps to change them ? For instance, at some time the user might want a app to manage roaming for them, but at another they might want to firmly turn roaming off.
