I have a theory that software is so hard, that internet startups win simply because they can actually do software, and thereby obtain its benefits. It's not that the start ups have such disruptive business models; but simply that software is great, and incumbents can't do it. Web startups are good at software because that's what they focus on, and are selected for. So we're in this strange situation where getting software to do it is more important than doing it. It's the flexibility. I'm afraid even my anecdatum is scanty: taxi calling is terrible. Uber could only be better.
