FINDING THE LEVEL PLAYING FIELD
IT'S CONSUMERS THAT WE WANT TO
REALLY HAVE THE BENEFITS AND WE
WANT THE FOCUS OF POLICY TO BE ON
THEM, NOT ON THE COMPETITORS.

YOU DON'T WANT TO HAVE ANY MARKET
PARTICIPANTS THAT HAD PRIVILEGED
ACCESS OR UNDUE INFLUENCE ON ANY
SORT OF REGULATORY PROCESS. ALL
COMPANIES SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY
AND MOTIVATION TO PURSUE INNOVATION.

I THINK MORE ABOUT THE CONCEPT OF
FAIRNESS, THAT EVERYONE'S PLAYING
BY THE SAME RULES, WHICH AIM TO
PROTECT THE CONSUMER, COLLECT
TAXES, AND MAKE SURE THAT THE
WORKERS ARE PROTECTED.
