Cricket parent company Leap Wireless announced plans this week for session-based data services on top of the company’s tiered data structure. The change will allow customers choose faster data for a specific period of time. According to Leap CEO and President Doug Hutcheson:
“The next big step for us that we believe is important is to add what’s called session-based capability on top of that [tiered pricing]. That will give us a lot more rate plan flexibility. That will mean that you can buy, should you have a very low amount of data but want to buy more within a month. You’ll have the ability to buy sessions or time periods where you can accelerate that speed, and it will be done very simply and very straightforward over the device or on a simple transaction with us.”
No pricing was revealed, but the company said it will launch the service in the first half of 2012.
