A non-rival good is a good whose consumption by one consumer does not prevent simultaneous consumption by other consumers. A good or service is non-excludable if non-paying consumers cannot be prevented from consuming it.

Most Internet platforms are multi-sided with indirect positive externalities. For instance, Google and Facebook match advertisers and Internet users. The advertisers value more platforms where there are many Internet users (indirect positive externalities between the two sides of the platform). A platform that gains a slight initial advantage over its competitors benefits from a vicious circle that can lead to a dominant position.
