   The WiFi analyzer may need to know what country it is in, because the   
   law changes, and with it the channels that are available. The   
   application may thus autoconfigure to only listen in the legal channels   
   for the current country.   
      
   Just one reason it occurred to me.

   Depending on the Android version, permissions are requested at install   
   time or at runtime.
