Unfortunately, Uber in Australia is seeing some of the same myopic and special interest difficulties that Elon Musk and Tesla are in the US. To provide context, payment processing for credit cards in Australian taxis is exorbitant (10%) on

That none of the data is normalised for wider economic conditions seems to invalidate the findings of PC and Tablet numbers. Smartphone growth is nothing new. PC and Tablet growth falling as well.
