Communication products are characterized by the fact that the benefit that results from their use is mainly dependent on the number of users of the product, the so-called installed base, and only dependent to a minor degree on the actual product characteristics. The utility of a videoconferencing system, for example, is quite small at the product launch because only a few users are present with whom adopters can communicate. Only the increase in the number of users leads to an enhancement of the utility for each user | ENCYCLOPEDIA OF Multimedia Technology and Networking Encyclopedia of Multimedia Technology and Networking Margherita Pagani l-LAB Centre for Research on the Digital Economy Bocconi University Italy IDEA GROUP REFERENCE Hershey London Melbourne Singapore Acquisitions Editor Development Editor Senior Managing Editor Managing Editor Copy Editors Typesetters Support Staff Cover Design Printed at Renée Davies Kristin Roth Amanda Appicello JenniferNeidig Julie LeBlanc Shanelle Ramelb Sue VanderHook and Jennifer Young Diane Huskinson Sara Reed and Larissa Zearfoss Michelle Potter Lisa Tosheff Yurchak Printing Inc.
