The problem is that the popular mobile OSes make a lot of this stuff harder than it needs to be. Maybe if it ended up in the IEEE standard... I still feel like ad-hoc wifi networks with something like BGP would be better. On the other hand there still isn't a good standard "chat over IP" except maybe unix "talk" which just about no one uses.

Unix talk requires servers. For a well standardized chat over IP protocol using servers we have XMPP.

SIP can work point-to-point directly over IP without a central server. I remember trying that with 2 SIP phones connected directly via Ethernet (configured with static Its) and I could call the IP of the other phone and that one would ring.
