## Quote — verbatim

> When they build their own data centers they're going to have underutilized supply... most traffic for Walmart comes during a shopping season, be it Black Friday or Christmas... most of the time the utilization is going to sit less than five percent or ten percent. So when that happens, their only avenue to offload their capacity is Akash network.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Extends the repatriation trend into an Akash supply-side prediction. **Speaker:** uncredited clip; likely Greg.
