## Quote — verbatim

> Close to 50 providers across the world — that's 50 regions, way more than Amazon. Amazon I think has only 20 or so regions. So we are a lot more distributed now and we're going to be a lot more distributed. Imagine when we have these thousands of regions, imagine the kind of applications that you can build. I call that innovation beyond imagination.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Prompted by Praetor's new global provider map; his recurring low-latency/edge thesis about massive geographic distribution beating hyperscalers.
