Some New York City cabbies are prepping to strike next week over the new Passenger Information Monitors the city is requiring that they install in their rides. The potential strike raises interesting questions about the nature of the labor relationship between NYC taxi drivers and the city government, but I can't get over the fact that we're all going to now be subject to endless "information and entertainment" while cabbing it in the city from now on.

I've got a post on the topic over at the Albany Project. Please check it out. And if you're a New Yorker, I'd love to hear what you think of the plan.
