+
+## high CDN cost = Content Delivery
+
+- CDN's cost between 20 and 60 on major CDN's from Amazon, Google, ..., after negotiation and willingness to park lots of money and commit per month it mught be certain discount.
+- Other specialized CDN's can be around 10 per TB if services from e.g. Europe or US, smaller CDN's are much more expensive.
+- Managing these CDN's is expensive and not easy job.
+
+>> this means to service 10m people it would cost about 1 to 2m USD per month just for CDN alone.
+
+## High cost of operations
+
+- cloud servers
+- managing those servers, what if mistakes are made
+
+## Ability to be shut down on the public cloud
+
+- its highly probable that within months there would be attempts to shut down the CDN's or often it happens more softly (give bad service and make your product look bad).
+
+## apps typically not ready to scale
+
+- ...
+- there are optimizations which can be done e.g. better indexing, better queries, more optimization strategies e.g. using redis
+- more knowledge is required to optimize the app
+
+## Ability to shutdown the mobile apps
+
+- google/apple might chose to shutdown apps
+- not easy to know how fast this will go, it might just be overnight
+
+## GDPR
+
+- are very annoying constraints in e.g. Europe, need to be careful to comply
+
+## Legal potential trouble
+
+- its important to have good terms & conditions and think which legal entity will be the counterpart of the T&C
+- there will be legal requirements like how to shutdown / recognize bad content
+
+## Redundancy / Uptime
+
+- is the site redundant, can data be lost?
+- what happens if a datacenter goes down?
+- or what happens if a DB server crashes?
+- what happens if e.g. DB gets corrupted?
+- how to make sure people always deserve the service they need
+- if it kind of works now, will  it work if 10x more people?
+- is everything monitored?
+- if an issue is detected are there people available 24h/day 7/7 to fix 
+- do the people who will fix have the right knowledge, where is that knowledge stored
+- is the monitoring system itself monitored, very often monitoring by itself will stop working
+
+## Performance
+
+- how to see performance is not good enough for customers
+- how to make sure we can easily fix it, can be region specific
+- how to relocate services?
+
+## protect against human error
+
+- mistakes are and will be made this might have huge impact on uptime and if not careful loose data
+- truck factor: what happens if someone goes away? can org easily take over and continue
+- level of automation & documentation?
+- how is version control done

+# Solution for Content or Social Network Providers
+
+Content providers have quite some issues in supporting their user base, our approach can help.
+
+Below you can find how we can help you to resolve some of your possible issues.
+
+## lower your CDN cost = Content Delivery
+
+- costs typically are +50 USD per TB, our solution goes below 10 USD.
+- cost goes to 10 USD at start, from v2.0 can be even lower.
+ 
+## Lower your cost of operations
+
+- ThreeFold has developed a self healing capable system which lowers your cost of operation dramatically.
+
+## Avoid any control or interference from others
+
+- Our clouds are unbreakable and cannot be shutdown or interfered with.
+
+## Get more scale
+
+- There are no limits to how far you can scale your app.
+
+## Sideload your mobile apps
+
+Vendors like Apple have a lot to say on how you deploy your app, we can work around that:
+
+- one app will be called TFConnect and will be the app running the peer2peer network Mycelium, identity management, reputation management, reliable message bus, geo dns, content caching,... TFConnect will be available for all major desktop and mobile platforms.
+- Then there will be multiple apps which can be native and web, the apps will talk to TFConnect on the device or desktop.
+- We suggest to also develop a rich web app which connects on the Phone to TFConnect, this cannot be blocked and would be ideal fall back solution in case the native mobile app gets blocked. Current web technology can be made in such a way it would act almost the same compared to native, thanks to TFConnect it would still be fast and highly responsive.
+
+## Integrated solution for GDPR
+
+- By design resolved in 2.0, all data is owned by the user.
+
+## Redundancy / Uptime
+
+- Its possible to achieve 100% redundant and should never be able to go down.
