Multi-channel mobile phones have WiFi, Bluetooth and EDGE. Using these phones it will be possible to make adhoc connections based on proximity to other devices and enable dynamic communities. Using Bluetooth it is possible to create dynamic Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks for information exchange. Using the mobile networks it is possible to do remote monitoring of phones, employ push/pull mechanism to enable information exchange as well as do remote provisioning of mobile devices.
