Here’s more from Boost:
Mostly, it sounds like a glorified VPN. The WiFi bonding feature sounds like it does what Apple’s WiFi Assist, Samsung’s Intelligent WiFi and Google’s Adaptive Connectivity already do.
I understand why Boost would want to maximize revenue from subscribers but this offering sounds like it would be unnecessary for most.
