qDot came up with some cool "mesh messaging" concepts a while back. This is definitely a space that UX has been keen to explore. Bad connectivity is not going anywhere for a while and solving it would be a _big deal_.

One of the biggest problems in the markets that Firefox OS has shipped is connectivity - it's usually some combination of rare, slow, unreliable and expensive.

Now that we're looking at shipping millions of extremely low-cost smartphones to larger markets with similar conditions, these problems will likely increase before they get better.

Should we look to mesh networking to fill this gap?

Someone in the Serval project drafted some ideas on integrating their mesh network approach into Firefox OS:
