Leap Wireless is considering a move to session-based data plans, said President and CEO Doug Hutcheson at a conference today.

For example, customers could buy data sessions when needed, or pay for faster connections. Hutcheson said he envisions such options being available directly from a customer's device. He didn't indicate what sort of pricing would be involved, nor when such data packages might be made available to customers. Leap Wireless is the owner of Cricket Communications.
