This is a super awesome project. Basically running a mesh network, asterisk, asterisk special sauce, and a sip client/controller, all on an android.<p>They can even route calls through the mesh &#38; out via phones with working connections. (Though not clear myself if that is outbound VoIP or using the android phone).<p>Plays nicely with Village Telco too. (<a href="http://www.villagetelco.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.villagetelco.org/</a>).<p>Sadly only works right now if the phone is rooted as Google don't provide an IBSS API (which they believe they need).
