* Connectivity in developing area (India, Cambodia) [1]
* Electronic health care [2]
* Wildlife monitoring [3]
* Urban monitoring
* Undersea communication
* Military applications
* Emergency relief operations [4]

* Communication after a disaster (earth quake, terrorism attack) which destroyed infrastructure so the emergency service can organized themselves
* Communication when a dictatorship shutdown usual communication ways
* "Tribute communication", is it necessary to send data to a 4-klm-far antenna when you just when to send a "where R U?"-SMS to a 100-m-close friend ?
* City-wide network with town-related information (buses timetable...)

The 802.11 (Wi-Fi) ad-hoc feature is not supported neither Android nor iOS. However this feature is very powerful. In general this can allow communication without any use infrastructure in cases such as : * Connectivity in developing area (India, Cambodia) [1] * Electronic health care [2] * Wildlife monitoring [3] * Urban monitoring * Undersea communication * Military applications * Emergency relief operations [4] As you can see this field is a research domain developed and growing. Nonetheless its use for a global audience is not yet feasible, indeed we -the masses, the consumers- do not have any product (expect laptop, heavier than smartphone) supporting the DTN[5] features. The implementation on our smartphones would make these use-cases possible : * Communication after a disaster (earth quake, terrorism attack) which destroyed infrastructure so the emergency service can organized themselves * Communication when a dictatorship shutdown usual communication ways * "Tribute communication", is it necessary to send data to a 4-klm-far antenna when you just when to send a "where R U?"-SMS to a 100-m-close friend ? * City-wide network with town-related information (buses timetable...) Some mobile applications exist already[7]. So... Here is my question. Mozilla, will you implement this ad hoc feature ? Please, make the difference with Android[6] or iOS. Thousand of consumers want and need it already.
