Well - at least Multipath TCP spared us from solving that use-case with generalized BPG usage on mobile devices. Too bad, it could have been fun - in a way...

BGP on mobile devices would never have been fun and never worked. If each mobile host that came online required BGP around the world to update it's FIB we'd be in a world of hurt (partially because you can't aggregate host routes as you don't know where they're originating transit from). The more routes you add to BGP the worse BGP becomes from a maintainability perspective.
TL;DR Don't mention BGP on mobile devices as fun to any network engineer unless you're using the reference as a bad joke.
