MIT Researchers Develop Computer-Generated TCP That is Twice as Fast

So we if we imagine this gains traction, could a mobile device use a different transport protocol for different network situations? Such as a phone going from 3G to 4G to wifi?

I guess the problem is the other end would have to adapt too?

Also if you are going to add new protocols, then would be not be better to add more message oriented protocols, rather than stream oriented? As many applications (twitter, payment instruction, email send) are message oriented.
