## Quote — verbatim

> You probably won't see an impact in the next year or two, but three to four years down the line, when Akash becomes a network that powers 5G because of another decentralized network that's inter\[operating\] with Akash — I think that's \[the\] kind of stuff that I get super excited about.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Greg on Althea deploying its 5G core on Akash, with antennas as edge nodes routing traffic through Akash servers — an early edge-compute/DePIN convergence prediction.
