Meshnets (everyone's a router) is cool, admittedly. But are you going to spend *your* battery life routing someone else's message?
Fixed P2P energy costs are trivial. Not so for mobile P2P. And if your meshnodes are mains-powered, you have wires going there, so wireless is less useful. Solar nodes might be useful.
