Maryland’s state body that oversees utilities and transportation ruled Wednesday that Uber, a web-based ride-sharing service, is subject to state regulation like taxi services in the state are. 

They stated Uber Technologies Inc. is a common carrier, a company that moves people or goods for hire, and thus is subject to the same regulations as other passengers-for-hire services. 

Matthew Mitchell, a senior fellow at George Mason University, will join us to explain what this all means and what other states have done to try to regulate Uber.
