你没听错!911可能是最好的"商业模式"之一 (抱歉,音频发错已调整)
【订正一个逻辑* RapidSOS并不提供开源API,但它提供**Emergency API**,当然该服务针对所有连接的商业端和公共事业单位等都是要收一定费用的。并非开源,因为这玩意儿确实也不适合做成开源,但信息的公开度很高。和各家竞争对手而言并不是一个你死我活的逻辑,因为毕竟付费方不是911呼叫中心,而是商业端。】 911,也就是北美常见的报警电话,是一项全国化的市政级别的服务。不论你是在当地居住还是旅游,遇到紧急问题肯定是打911. 所以直入主题,为什么说911可能是最好的“商业模式”之一呢?911本身又不赚钱,不是盈利性机构。。。 没错,首先,搞清楚谁给911服务付钱的。。。 911有别于警察部门,是一个独立部门。它主要的费用来自于州政府和当地政府,不论是城市,郡县,还是更小的地方的政府,通过找当地的电话服务商和无线电话服务商收费。然后经由政府部门,把款项拨下去给具体的911报警电话中心。 这个911电话系统其实很老旧了, 如果有看过Jack Gylenhaal演的电影,2021年上映的《The Guilty》,你就会发现,电影里的系统虽然已经刻画地非常先进了,但依然还是无法即时帮助到需求真实求助的人。
