## Quote — verbatim

> Two years from now, majority \[of\] the internet will come from cloud — cloud infrastructure, to be specific. About 53 percent of global data center traffic will be from three major providers, and the market is amazing — 71 billion dollars... So cloud is here to stay, cloud is here to take over, and three companies are going to control... \[the\] internet.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken
