I read this story using one of my local television station's app on my iPhone, and thought everybody should know about this. I will post the link to the story at the end. IOS 9 contains something called WiFi assist, which is meant to boost a weak WiFi signal by supplementing it with your lte data. This seems to me to be a back door way to run up one's data bill, so the phone companies can collect extra money , being that it is turned on by default. I turned it off. Go to settings, cellular, and find it near the bottom of the long list of things that can access one's cellular data. I think it should be turned off by default. Perhaps I am being overly paranoid.
