## Quote — verbatim

> Phase two starts in 2026: telco edge. Here we deploy into network dense environments — fiber huts, cell towers, base stations. Close to users, close to data, radically reducing latency and transport costs. Phase three, beginning in 2027: homes, schools, and local community sites. The long tail of underutilized infrastructure becomes active.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

The dated roadmap for compute moving progressively local — from colo data centers to the network edge to consumer/community premises.
