I've always believed that competition is good for consumers and good for businesses.

Markets are a good thing, and they are the best way of ensuring we have fairness.

It is important to exhaust the potential of existing markets. But it is equally important to open up new markets.

In order to work well, markets need a basic level of trust.

We were in the market ahead of competition. We brought new products on the market ahead of competition. We rolled out our networks. We begged, borrowed, stole, put things out. And while they were never near perfect, they were first. And that gave us, to my mind, a lot of advantage.

When our markets work, people throughout our economy benefit - Americans seeking to buy a car or buy a home, families borrowing to pay for college, innovators borrowing on the strength of a good idea for a new product or technology, and businesses financing investments that create new jobs.

Putting people before profits is how we've tried to operate from the beginning.

We like to think that a free market's greatest strength is its self-corrective nature.

When we think about even the PC market and what is required in the student as well as in the consumer market, we want to be able to compete in the opening price point.

Indeed, we must foster cost-saving competition. And that means joining the marketplace of other industrialized countries - not just for the manufacturers who sell drugs, but for consumers as well.
