from marginally viable competitive entrants to potential

overly stringent regulation can choke the sector’s growth.
In later stages, however, closer regulation is usually

regulatory evolution required of this sector by defining its
growth phases and spelling out, in advance, the regulations
that will apply at each stage. |
