“I think about competition a little bit how I think about gravity. When I get out of bed in the morning, I don’t think, ‘Oh my gosh, gravity is pulling me down. If it wasn’t around, I could jump 20 feet high in the air.’ It’s the same way about competition. If it wasn’t around, I’d have 100% share, but it is, and both AT&T and T-Mobile are excellent companies with strong leaders in John [Stankey] and Srini [Gopalan]. I have a ton of respect for both of them and their companies, but I feel like there’s still plenty of room for growth in this industry.”
