AI summary As restructuring progresses, more customers will have access to unbundled services and new market participants, potentially affecting price elasticity of demand and supply. In the short run, consumer behavior may not change much, but in the long run, a competitive market could make consumers more price-sensitive. Some elements of a competitive market already exist in the regulated market.
