I agree with what murphe777 points out. This idea is brilliant, but it may be in such contrast to the profit-based views of the carriers, that shy of a government mandate, I seriously doubt that it will ever be a standard feature. Thankfully, most android phones are open, and if the concept remain as software, it may be difficult to block it.

You'd have to be a bit worried about privacy if this became the norm... your call being passed down the line through hundred's of people's phones. Sure it might be encrypted, but hackers can get into just about anything if given long enough.
The other problem is that the Telcos will do everything in their power to sink this, starting with forcing the manufacturers to disable this feature (they are all in bed together).

in an emergency where communications have broken down: just drop 100's or 1000's of android smartphones from a plane. ?????? It would make much more sense to drop a bunch of rugged oldfashioned walkie-talkies, they're small nowadays (benefiting from new battery technology), cheap and reliable, with a MUCH better range than WiFi. Some newer ones like the Trisquare ones are digital so the signal can be encrypted even.

I heard Paul Gardner-Stephen speaking about this in an interview with Salim Fadhley on the Pod Delusion podcast #70, 4 Feb 2011. Very interesting technology. I hope the Serval project is a big success.
