I'm wondering how they plan to justify a markup on taxis though. Uber Black isn't much more expensive than a taxi as it is, so if I'm going to pay above what a normal taxi costs, I'd just as soon go that route. If they plan to take a 'referral fee' from the taxi companies, I think they're still going to get a bunch of opposition as that'll cut into margins. I don't know nearly enough to know whether or not taxi services currently offer any kind of referral benefits or what, but I envision taxi services as low margin operations as they are (though that could be way off the mark).
