## Quote — verbatim

> The goal is to get parity with the current cloud... Akash will transition from a resource network to a services network where you have hundreds if not thousands of services all offered in a decentralized manner... The question I'll leave you folks with is: what happens when you have thousands of regions that are spread across the world with thousands of services? Amazon has 32 regions right now — imagine that as a thousand regions.
