## Quote — verbatim

> Cloud infrastructure, the backbone of the internet, it's getting increasingly centralized. It's controlled by the monopoly of literally four companies... you pay the cloud tax, the Amazon tax, we call it, invisibly. And the mission of Akash is to really break the logopoly.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Opening framing of Akash; "logopoly" is Whisper's rendering of "oligopoly." Continues into the peer-to-peer marketplace pitch for "resilient and unstoppable applications at a much lower cost."
