This has been going on for over fifty years. McDonalds replaced diners with standardized food and processes. WallMart replaces smaller stores, often locally privately owned. Through efficiency and standardization they decrease the amount of labor needed and in particular the skill of labor needed.
The mobile web lets you standardize mobile services (like delivery and taxis) and replace small companies owned by middle class people with leaner, larger, public ones.
