You're way behind the times, "http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/itaze-the-best-taser-tazer/id300561684?mt=8" GSM phones already increase power automatically if the signal degrades. The problem with this approach is three-fold, 1) there's a limit to how much the power can be increased, 2) it negatively affects battery life, and 3) increasing power helps for transmitting but not receiving.
