Shann,

To use a practical example that is close at hand, for you and me, but within
the realms of possibility:

Here in New South Wales, as of 1/1/2001, there will be full retail
contestability in gas and electricity, ie every home owner will have a
choice of a wide variety of supplier companies for these basic services.

The competition will be ferocious. Companies will be pursuing all manner of
creative marketing techniques to win customers from their rivals and secure
the ones they already have.

How could:

(1) these companies offer CSOP incentives to customers; and

(2) the State Government, which will regulate this competition, encourage
such incentivisation?
