Yes, but that's a long term project (post GSoC). The main reason is while it may be technically possible, we'd have to maintain multiple connections to stay reliably connected (phones are typically heavily NATed), so it needs friend-of-a-friend connections, and also, mobile internet usually blocks p2p, UDP etc very harshly, so we'd need transport plugins. In other words, it depends on too many things we don't have yet, so it can wait.
