It would probably be good in an outback setting where there are just a couple of people who want to talk to each other, but four hops in a mesh network is considered overwhelming for network reliability, so I don't think this would work so well in, let's say, a cafe, or walking down the streets of a big city. Unless some new protocols have arisen that I'm not aware of, I don't think mobile devices yet have the processing power to communicate in a thick mesh network, either.
