Market Access

Can you get to the grocery store? That's one market.

And maybe market access in this sense applies to your being able to buy and sell on it. Like stocks, bonds, and rare coins with faces of dead presidents. That's one kind of market access.

Another runs when you're a company bulding product for a highly regulated environment. Like...you want accesss to the wireless phone market and you need the FCC to clear you for access to that market. You'll have all kinds of security and tech hoops to jump through. But if you do, then you too can offer your iPhone competitor that really just does phone calls really well and...not much else. Then you'd have access to the wireless phone market. And that would be good. Eight hundred bucks is just too much to pay for a phone.
