This edition updates previous statistical tables and adds new tables; replaces and expands case material to reflect recent experiences; incorporates material on pricing that emphasizes practical approaches to setting tariffs and that reflects the shift of regulatory attention from costs to prices; and revises material on technology and costs to reflect the fast pace of innovation.
