> set the right free market conditions for real competition to happen

Just as a curiosity, what exactly are those "right free market conditions" and where have those been successfully implemented before? Because I think most of us (Europeans) are desperately trying to avoid replicating the American experiment, so if that's the "right free market conditions" I think we're trying to avoid those on purpose.

But maybe you're thinking of some other place, then I'm eager ears to hear what worked elsewhere :)
