So, going forward under your updated parameters, we need to have in 
place a streamlined frame of reference to replace the "iTunes ecosystem" 
with a less organic yet more technically correct buzzword.  We will need 
to identify a suitable process owner to enact the new parameters, 
brainstorming a set of alternative terminologies which can tested among 
representative samples of Apple's various overlapping target market 
populations.  Once the the betas are finalized and the replacement 
terminology is qualified we can push it out with a presumptive target 
date of Q2 2017.  This could be a watershed moment for the Apple 
ecosystem.
