The scenario that has me scratching my head is customer using T-Mobile handset in his house 10 feet from his 802.11ac router and 1 mile from the T-Mobile LTE tower. I guess they are assuming in this case the handset has switched to WiFi except for voice calls. But the comments in the article about 5 GHz LTE and WiFi co-existing seem to ignore that WiFi transmitters are everywhere as you walk down the street, while the LTE towers are a few miles apart, so from an interference standpoint they are not on an equal footing.
Also the article talks about handsets with this feature about a year from now.
