Batman may get rid of your cell phone service

Remember that one time when you couldn't connect to WiFi, and you didn't have a cell signal?  Remember also the feeling that your phone is useless to you and you might as well use it a a door-stop at this point?Good.  The future is being designed so that none of us have to deal with that anymore.  That is, as long as you stay around other people and don't desert into the mountains by yourself somewhere...

Good ole' Batman is known for a lot of things, but one thing he is not known for is getting rid of your hefty cell phone bill, until now....
Code-named Batman (Better-Approach-To-Mobile-Adhoc-Network) basically connects smart phones together directly to the phones themselves using WiFi.  This completely gets rid of your carrier, and would make it so that as long as one person was connected to the internet, that anybody connected to that phone could also be connected to the internet. 

I had always wondered when this was going to happen, and technically as of now the ability is limited to about 100 feet. 

Think of NO MORE cell phone bill, no cell towers, no more getting locked into a cell phone plan for 2 years just to get a nice phone.  

For more info look into this or this.
