Titolo: "Fenomeno di nicchia" e "Freni alla diffusione" ?

Ciao a tutti gli esperti,
Sto cercando di rendere in inglese le due espressioni del subject.
La prima proprio non mi suona per niente: case of niche (?!?)
La seconda "Restraints to the diffusion" potrebbe andare ?
Nel vocabolarione non ho trovato nulla che mi possa aiutare
Grazie in anticipo.
Ciao
Irene

They make no sense to me as they are. What's the topic?

Hi Loki, I will try to explain it better:
"Fenomeno di nicchia" is referred to a case, a situation that happens only
in particular and closed situations (that's way we say niche [~ shell]
case). It's also often used with the noun market (or commerce or trade?). In
Italian, a niche market is a very peculiar and small market. For example,
the tobacco pipe commerce is a "niche market" (=mercato di nicchia).
"I freni alla diffusione" here, I want to say that there are restrains,
checks, brakes that impede, stop, prevent the diffusion of something. So I
was thinking "the restrains to the diffusion of telework are bla, bla". But
if it is not good English, can you suggest me something better ?
Thanks a lot for your reply.
Best regards,
Irene

Hope this helps, let's see what Loki's fertile Kiwi imagination
suggests.

 talk about "the phenomenon of niche marketing".
OK, but I don't need to speak about market or marketing here (it was just an
example), but about telework. May I say that "telework is still a niche
phenomenon (or case)" in the sense it is still limitated, not so widespread
among companies ?
For the second issue. It's ok. I'm happy.
Many thanks for your reply, John.

Nothing other than a compliment.  :-)
Kiwis are culturally somewhat different to us Brits, so perhaps you
might be able look at things from a slightly different angle.

 blah blah.. (eg people hate spam)
How about "The spreading of telemarketing is hindered by..."
(or "is held back by...")
What do you think about the term spreading instead of diffusion?
Does it fit?
goodniche,

Well 'the spread' would be better than 'the spreading', but
otherwise fine.

Like from the angle of 40 degrees south? :-) Compliments I can handle
anytime. :-))

The spreading of butter may be more apt. :-)
