Metcalfe's law could be applied to the following area?
"The number of Hot Spots increases, WiFi user's utility increases based on (1) N^2 or (2) N*log(N). Both are assumed with "Increasing Marginal Utility". Or Do you think "Marginal Utility of WiFi user" will decrease with the increase of number of Hot-Spot? I chose N*Log(N) in my simulation which was done by yesterday, ...
