I was thinking that law enforcement would love this new technology. Especially since, Apps will probably "hamfistedly" force you to activate Wi-Fi Aware or give it access if you want to use the App - which we'll probably have limited control over what information is shared across the Wi-Fi Aware network. I think that the best application for this would be meshnetworks like Fire Chat, or even as a replacement for the cell network in the case it goes down where a Wi-Fi Aware phone could be connected at the edge and pass data through the whole network.
