The danger in all of this is that Uber has the power to eradicate competition. Once that is gone Uber will be king and not only enjoy local monopolies but one global one. But seeing how the arrival of Uber everywhere is cheered on by customers rather than them having reservations (e.g. "yeah price is great but what's it going to be like 5/10/15 years from now?") may make an eventual IPO very interesting.
I share your suspicion, but there is nothing to stop other regional taxi apps from forming what are effectively alliances allowing each others' customers access to locate networks. I think Yandex Taxi has already done this.
