Video can be expensive. We recognize this and are committed to being a good technology partner to our customers by passing on savings as technology advancements allow it. We can point to Moore's Law, advanced video codecs, and machine learning as opportunities on that front making it possible for us to continuously lower costs and make video even more accessible.
