## Quote — verbatim

> We're seeing this VPN service on Akash — 54 cents a month — that you have full control over, that you have full sovereignty over, that you know for sure is private... that gives me all kinds of new ideas: what kind of services are possible in the future on Akash where you can guarantee sovereignty for the users?

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Community-run VPN at $0.54/month vs. ExpressVPN's ~$4/month on shared infrastructure; forward-looking about a class of user-sovereign services. **Speaker:** uncredited clip; likely Greg.
