## Quote — verbatim

> Over time that's going to go to a point that Akash will be the fastest network to deliver the cloud on. Imagine having a thousand endpoints, a thousand, like, regions, compared to Amazon's 16 or 17 regions... the old clouds of the world are limited to data centers because they have to go build their own data centers. Akash — we don't build a data center, people with data centers come to us. It's a fundamentally different model.
