## Quote — verbatim

> One of the recent use cases for Akash was with the U.S. Department of Defense, using Akash Network to secure inter-group communications. So when people start seeing some of these advanced use cases used by the government, I think the government and regulators will have a different opinion on how Akash is used and how web3 is considered.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Regulation discussion; he follows with the claim that Akash will "make America more competitive when it comes to machine learning by enabling and unlocking these inherently unused resources."
