"Peep Wireless Technology (PWT), a Delaware-based company, has
revealed a software app that turns a phone into a small cell tower
(client/server viral transmitter/receiver).

The application will be revealed at the Consumer Electronics Show or
CES in Las Vegas later this week. It is called PeepApp and will
initially be available only for the iPhone. Later it will be made for
other mobile operating systems as well."

Interesting....

Eric Raymond wrote about that idea last summer: http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=2115

It appears that the company that he was writing about is developing software for Android phones: http://www.servalproject.org/
