And hence the potential Softbank deal, who can broker these mergers across the various asian markets. This is also why Softbank is so keen on investing in Uber over Lyft. With Lyft, the best Softbank can muster is a parternship of equals amongst disparate localized companies, which is nothing but a mess in the end. Uber allows them true mergers where one side absorbs another and both come out with a net value-add. An Uber with one or more majority regions along with stakes across the globe can be a massive massive company.
