I think if people had been content with calling a taxi cab, no one would have ever heard of Uber.

I too think the Uber model/valuation can't last but largely but mostly because there are no significant barriers to entry and providing the service that Uber provides costs almost nothing. Juno has already signed up 10,000 drivers in NYC. Primarily because they are only going to charge 10% versus 30 to 40% for Uber.
