Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
____ states the effect of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n^2).
A
Reed’s Law
B
Sarnoff’s Law
C
Beckstrom’s Law
D
Metcalfe’s law
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Metcalfe’s law states that the financial value or impact of a telecommunications network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users of the system (n2).

Detailed explanation-2: -“Metcalfe’s Law” says that a network’s value is proportional to the square of the number of nodes in the network. The end nodes can be computers, servers and simply users. For example, if a network has 10 nodes, its inherent value is 100 (10×10=100). Add one more node, and the value is 121.

Detailed explanation-3: -Metcalfe’s Law shows us that expanding the network increases its value. Moore’s Law tells us that while capability steadily increases, the cost of those capabilities continually drops. Together, they mean that continued network expansion network is inevitable.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metcalfe’s Law-Network effects are also known as Metcalfe’s law, or network externalities, and this concept has been leveraged by many technology firms to build massive user bases.
