External Analysis of Podcast as a service

The goal of this project to conduct an external analysis of an industry (Podcasts). This includes gathering current, up-to-date information on political/legal environment and the technological environment. Do not solely get the information on the internet. Atleast 50% of the information should be researched from academic publishings and other library resources.

NOTE: The external analysis should be only on the Political/Legal and Technological environment. There is no need of an introduction. Just externally analyzing the Political and technological environment of the Podcast industry.
