Researchers enable mesh WiFi networking for Android smartphones

This is a super awesome project. Basically running a mesh network, asterisk, asterisk special sauce, and a sip client/controller, all on an android.

They can even route calls through the mesh & out via phones with working connections. (Though not clear myself if that is outbound VoIP or using the android phone).

Plays nicely with Village Telco too. (http://www.villagetelco.org/).

Sadly only works right now if the phone is rooted as Google don't provide an IBSS API (which they believe they need).
