I think about this from a few days ago. From a node in Blognone talking about the price of SMS is skyrocketted. It’s unreasonable expensive, no guarantee in any aspect you message may delayed forever.
@sugree has been develop #jiblib quite a long time. It’s work well and cost competitive.
From my aspect, #jiblib has an extraordinary potential to applied in the realworld other than a global-single-room IRC. :P We’re talking about a low cost and quite real-time data platform.NN
Nowadays EGPRS fee is about 3.5 baht per hour if we use #jiblib to report something like pizza motorcycles’ location, TAXIs, or Trucks.
Use case:
Tony want to call a taxi to pick him at his home
Tony call TAXI’s callcenter and tell it his location.
The callcenter broadcast this message to all associated TAXIs’ driver.
Serveral drivers reply back.
The callcenter check all drivers’ location with the recently report in location.
The calcenter pickup the nearest one and sent the comfirmation
Tony now can check the informations about his TAXI through the Web or telephone. The information including ETA, license number, and the TAXI’s appearance.
Tony got his taxi and go to his destination.
The main advantage is about the cost. The mentioned process may need about 10-100 message which is irreasonable. But with GPRS, it will cost no more than a fraction of baht.
