You're right. I'd rather use Tollgate every day.
But Helium has loads of devices out in the wild, and agreements with mobile carriers. Not to mention a UX that abstracts all of this from everyone.
That level of biz dev is providing more value (today) than cashu/tollgate is.
We can get there. But useful-now is better than perfect-someday 99% of the time.
