Who pays the driver?

  I would caution against using this as a discriminator, since the scheme whereby you are billed by the phone company for third-party services has long existed, but that doesn't make AT&T your boss.

    Do you mean “but that doesn’t make AT&T _their_ boss”? Because in this scenario I’m paying AT&T, right?

  Exactly. If Uber is really just providing a service to the drivers, the drivers should be paying a subscription to Uber while taking money directly from the customer. (Edit) And they should be setting their own prices!

    Surely there are alternatives to Uber then?

      There are alternatives to Uber like there are alternatives to McDonalds -- they all do the same thing and treat their drivers the same way.
