Why are Website Location Applications Important?
There are a number of reasons Website Location Applications are important.
QR Code Security Risks
QR codes present significant security vulnerabilities in the marketplace. Anyone can modify or replace a QR code to redirect users to malicious sites instead of the intended destination. For example, in parking lots that accept QR code payments, bad actors could replace legitimate codes with fraudulent ones designed to steal credit card information.
Function-Based vs. Brand-Based Applications
Applications should be organized by function (such as "Order Taxi") rather than corporate branding (Uber, Lyft, Waymo, Tesla). Current market operations create marketplace monopolies that violate antitrust laws like the Sherman Act. Every time a new taxi service enters the market, consumers must download and manage another separate corporate application causing confusion and complications.
The Order Taxi Solution
A unified "Order Taxi" application would integrate with all taxi services within districts to ensure:
- Access to the best available service
- Open market pricing
- Safety compliance and proper licensing through Department of Transportation regulations
This principle applies to numerous service categories, including food delivery, shopping, and other consumer services.
Benefits of Unified Interfaces
Having a single interface for multiple backend services ensures:
- Open and fair market competition
- Better pricing and service for consumers
- Lower barriers to entry for new businesses
- Easier to use
Problems with Current Quasi-Business Networks
Most of big-tech applications today to create artificial business networks that limit true market competition. Including Air-Bnb, Spotify, Google, Uber, Grub Hub, and more...
Amazon Shops Example
Amazon Shops appears to offer marketplace opportunities, but it's actually a controlled environment where Amazon sets commissions rather than allowing true market forces to operate.
Citizens cannot find owners in the marketplace purely based on the store owners own prices, quality, and services.
Spotify Example
Spotify pays musicians through its proprietary network using fixed pricing structures, which limits fair compensation and market-driven pricing.
Conclusion
These fixed-pricing models violate competition laws and ultimately harm both citizens and businesses by restricting genuine market competition and fair pricing mechanisms.
Website LocationApplications start with the citizens user interface, and drives standards in the market for interoperability across the value chain from the consumers application, all the way to the manufacturer.
