## Quote — verbatim

> How do you serve that data in a high-performance way, in a low-latency way? You do that by reducing the network latency between the end user and the server, and that means you need to go where the user is — that means the servers need to be in the same location of the user.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Phase three of the adoption plan — after cost, solve performance via Akash's geographically distributed provider model (edge compute thesis).
