That seems like a bad precedent that could harm some apps that create a lot of value. It also seems like if they are applying that rule it might be subjective -- I can think of three off the top of my head that are still in the app store:

- Taxi Magic (Taxi dispatch app)

- Uber (Black Car dispatch app)

- Fire Department (notifies neighbors abt CPR emergencies)

I don't know about Fire Department, but in regards to the other two, booking a taxi isn't the same as dispatching. Dispatching would be the taxi company telling sending a driver to a location.
