Answer to Question 1

Network effects refer to the increased value of a product or service that results simply because there are more people using it. A large customer base can be significant because of network effects. The value of Facebook, for example, is low if you can only connect a few people. But the more people who use that social network, the more valuable it becomes to everyone.

Answer to Question 2
