My major concerns

- After the individual conference, I received a very intriguing idea, which is to consider itune as well. However, after researching, I realized that itune is not too similar to Netflix and Maghound. For now, I’ve decided not to include analysis of itune for my paper. Do you think Itune is relevent to my research topic?

- I am writing this paper on the assumption that Netflix and Maghound have similar business models. However, movie business and magazine business certainly have different aspects needed for success. Is it safe to speculate Maghound's success based on Netflix's successful elements?
