## Quote — verbatim

> Amazon right now has about 250 services, but when Akash is fully mature and, you know, decentralized — where anybody can add any service that they want and there's a way to verify these — I don't see how we can\['t\] have a much more extensive catalog than any other cloud providers.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

After describing plans for decentralized managed services (e.g., MySQL run by low-latency providers in-datacenter); the bracketed correction reflects an apparent caption garble. Growth at the time: ~10 new active apps/day, ~150 deploys/day.
