	Network effect - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		This type of side-effect in a transaction is known as an externality in economics, and externalities arising from network effects are known as network externalities.
		Network effects were used as justification for some of the dot-com business models in the late 1990s.
		Network effects are commonly mistaken for economies of scale, which result from business size rather than interoperability (see also natural monopoly).

		Ergo, it means that the total value of a good or service that possesses a network effect is roughly proportional to the square of the number of customers already owning that good or using that service.
		Network effects were used as justification for some of the business models for dot-coms in the late 1990s.
		If some existing technology or company whose benefits are largely based on network effects starts to lose market share against a challenger such as a disruptive technology or open standards based competition, the benefits of network effects will reduce for the incumbent, and increase for the challenger.

	Network Externalities (Effects)
		Network externality has been defined as a change in the benefit, or surplus, that an agent derives from a good when the number of other agents consuming the same kind of good changes.
		Networks that serve niche markets well (such as wordprocessors specializing in mathematical notation), might not be significantly disadvantaged by network effects.
		In a related vein, for those cases where network effects are important, the role of copyright and patent law may be cast in a new light.

	CSC: ‘NETWORK EFFECT’ ACCELERATING CHANGES IN BUSINESS AND TECHNOLOGY September 9, 2003
		The network effect fundamentally alters the way business is conducted as companies consider their operations to be integrated with the network rather than merely enabled by it.
		The network effect on infrastructure such as storage, computing power and networks means that those resources are beginning to resemble utilities, according to the report.
		As the network effect hits applications, the report says, software will increasingly make the transition from packaged applications to services that can be easily developed and accessed anywhere in the network.

		Originally it was known as Metcalfe's Law, which said that the value of a network is equal to approximately the square of the number of users in any networked system.
		Network effects are a primarily reason that the Web is such a vibrant and exciting place today.
		With each new type of network effect (of which blogs, wikis, and many other Web participation mechanism are a prime example) came those who hacked the related network effect for their own selfish gain.

	Print Version - Enterprise Data Warehouses and the Network Effect \| Business intelligence, data warehousing and ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The exciting new digital economy has highlighted an aspect of systems commonly called the "network effect." Basically, this is the recognition that in a network or online community, possible transactions (thus, potential value) can be realized through the interaction of almost any combination of nodes (people, links) in the system.
		Because network- based businesses such as eBay are able to attract new customers largely on the value (i.e., size) of their existing network or community, adding customers has a momentum-building impact that goes far beyond anything realized in a traditional business.
		The network effect first came to my attention (though I did not know what to call it at the time) about five years ago when I was in the middle of a two-and-one- half year project to construct an EDW for a major transportation company.

	Network Effect
		Metcalfe’s Law states that, “the usefulness, or utility, of a network equals the square of the number of user." This law has been modified over the years to take into account the number and value of the resources on the network (i.e.
		The Network Effect is the result of Metcalfe’s Law, it states that, “the adoption rate of the network increases in proportion to the its utility.”
		Since most service-oriented architectures leverage network and application protocols, in many ways the SOE falls victim to the both Metcalfe’s Law and the Network Effect.

	Network Effect - definition, information, sites, articles.
		The network effect is often the result of word-of-mouth testimonials.
		The network effect can be perpetuated indirectly, as well, through analysis of a network's size and projected growth.
		While the word-of-mouth method is often more influential in the beginning, analysis may play a significant role later in the cycle.

	The Network Effect Multiplier, or, Metcalfe's Flaw - Unit Structures :: Fred Stutzman
		We must instead think of network value in terms of a network effect multiplier, as the actual value a network adds to an application is under the direct control of the application designers.
		The size of the network and myriad uses of the network create a network effect multiplier that is much greater than flickr's.
		However, since the final value of the network is a function of the core value and the network effect, we see a balancing function.

		Because fax machines are linked into a network, each additional fax machine sliding down the chute increases the value of all the fax machines operating before it.
		So strong is this network value that anyone purchasing a fax machine becomes an evangelist for the fax network.
		You are purchasing for $200 the entire network of all other fax machines and the connections between them - a value far greater than the cost of all the separate machines.

	Virtual Network Effect on Load Balancing
		The virtual network used in local coordination of neighbor processors for workload distribution and messages propagation has a crucial effect on network communication overhead, in addition to physical network restraints, such as channel bandwidth and startup latency.
		In fact, the optimal selection of virtual network depends on various factors, such as the hardware environment, numerical algorithm, and the size and difficulty of numerical applications.
		In fact, a variety of other virtual networks can also be implanted in ADLB algorithm, such as higher dimensional torus network, hypercube network and tree network.

		The Network Economy is fed by the deep resonance of two stellar bangs: the collapsing microcosm of chips and the exploding telecosm of connections.
		The solidifying standards of a network are both its blessing and its curse - a blessing because from the de facto collective agreement flows the unleashed power of increasing returns, and a curse because those who own or control the standard are disproportionately rewarded.
		The one clear effect of the industrial age is that the prosperity individuals achieve is more closely related to their nation's prosperity than to their own efforts.

	Can we amplify Omidyar's $100 million investment with the Network Effect? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Group-forming Networks illustrate the accelerating value of networks whose nodes are groups, rather than indivicuals.
		Due to the massive parallism of the network, single nodes can (and do) drop out all the time, but the network itself is designed from the start to be resilient in the face of individual failures.
		If we applied this example to a network of uplift, if certain nodes were found to be untrustworthy, the network would simply "route around the damage" and find another path to get the "uplift packet" to its destination.

	Gauging the network effect of grids - Network World
		By doubling the size of the packets that the TeraGrid network can handle, researchers have found they can significantly reduce the packet number that needs to be sent, thereby increasing network performance.
		Kaplow says the key to solving the network scheduling challenge is the development of next-generation middleware, which is being tackled under a separate NSF-funded initiative.
		Experts say that if grid computing achieves its promise, it could have a profound effect on the way that public and private networks are designed and operated.
