Tom,
Network providers don't control CPE is either. I know iOS has support
for MPTCP, AFAIK Android does not (Erik is that correct?). If Android
were shipping it that would be a strong datapoint towards getting
support in Linux.
In South Korea, at least 8 popular models of Android smartphones from at
least two different vendors are shipped to endusers with MPTCP included
in their kernel even if MPTCP is not yet part of the mainline Linux
kernel. This deployment is described in
https://www.ietfjournal.org/multipath-tcp-deployments/
In June, when Apple announced that they would allow any app to use MPTCP
in iOS11, they also mentioned that they would help to push MPTCP
upstream in the Linux kernel. This will obvisouly require non-trivial
engineering efforts.
