Anyone want to take bets that many of the major taxi company owners are Italian politicians?\
\
\"A court blocked the use of smart phone apps for Uber cars UBER.UL in Italy on Friday, ruling that they constituted unfair competition.\
\
The court said Uber could not use its Black, Lux, Suv, X , XL, Select and Van phone applications nor could it promote or advertise its services in Italy, a court document showed.\
\
The court ruled in favour of a suit filed by Italy\'s major traditional taxi associations.\"
