externalités

French to English Tech/Engineering Computers (general)
Taken from a doc regarding regulation of the digital economy. It crops up in a heading and then a little further on. Any ideas for a snappy translation?

Les conséquences des externalités de réseau

Paradoxe structurel bien connu des spécialistes du domaine : les externalités de réseau favorisent la constitution de monopole car la valeur d’une application augmente avec le nombre de ses utilisateurs

externalities

My first thought was "endpoints", but it looks like this phrase is often translated as "network externalities".

Thank you, Taylor!
agree Elizabeth Slaney : Yes, I think "network externalities" covers the whole heading as it already implies the "effects" or "conséquences"

network benefits

I saw this in a paper on the subject, although they used mostly "network externatilities," this term (netw benef) was referred to as a translation to the French ext de reseau. So, an additional option for you to have at hand.
