## Quote — verbatim

> How do you serve that data in a high performance way, in a low latency way? You do that by reducing the network latency between the end user and the server, and that means you need to go where the user is. That means the servers need to be in the same location of the user.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Phase three of the plan — the performance problem after solving cost; an early version of his recurring edge/local-compute thesis.
