Multipath TCP doesn't magically increase the amount of bandwidth either, it just allows a single TCP-like connection to use multiple internet connections. It would allow you to use all bandwidth available on multiple connections in a single TCP connection but right now we can already use all bandwidth available over multiple separate TCP connections.

The article is very weak on substance, but I imagine the encoded possibilities of heavy computation based parallel stream. The obvious challenges are timing/synchronization and additional processing based power consumption.
