There's no absolutely universal solution. There will probably always be specific situations in small markets where competition will take longer than in others, but, in general, what is necessary, first and foremost, are clear rules and assurances that, when a new arrival invests so that there is competition in a local market, it will be able to establish a basic position which is viable and enables it to recover its investment. If the rules aren't clear and new arrivals get the impression that their investments will be at risk, they won't take any risk. That's my answer.
