## Quote — verbatim

> With a network of a thousand regions, the goal is to reduce latency to 20 milliseconds — network latency to 20 milliseconds for 95th percentile active internet population.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Answering whether Akash could serve metaverse/cloud-gaming workloads; contrasts with ~300ms US coast-to-coast latency and says a thousand regions "unlock a whole range of applications we haven't yet seen."
