As I said, Uber doesn't dominate yet. Which is why they need to spend their time fight the taxis and not the media.

- davidw 12y agoI read it. I think they're a long way from dominating much of anything in some ways, given how easy it is for regulators to shut them down. I'm not anti-Uber or at least anti-disruption for the taxi industry. Here in Italy the taxi lobby is strong and very, very much against any kind of change or liberalization, and can use pretty nasty tactics themselves when they feel threatened.
- morky 12y agoNo they have really fucked themselves. They need to be getting city councils on their side. They're not. They are getting shut down left, right and centre at the moment. They don't dominate anywhere except maybe SF?
- davidw 12y agoThey just opened here in Padova, today: http://corrieredelveneto.corriere.it/padova/notizie/cronaca/2014/10-dicembre-2014/taxi-fai-te-uber-padova-230702378387.shtml http://corrieredelveneto.corriere.it/padova/notizie/cronaca/... They're definitely hurting, but I don't think it's "game over" just yet. But it seems to be a critical moment for them.
