Asymptotic Network Effects Asymptotic network effects are network effects with diminishing returns. Recall the basic definition of network effects: as usage of a product grows, its value to each user also grows. In some cases, however, network effects can start to weaken after certain point in the growth of the network. Growth in an asymptotic network, after a certain size, no longer benefits the existing users. Examples include Lyft/Uber and most data network effects. Read more about Asymptotic Network Effects 25
