## Quote — verbatim

> The amount of data \[and\] data processing needs are doubling every two years \[but\] the processing power hasn't been catching up... access to modern infrastructure is safeguarded by the cloud infrastructure providers... about twenty-one hyperscale providers, out of which three providers have a majority of the market share... they are being gatekeepers — they are not allowing the cloud to scale.
