“These anticipated shortages, driven by factors such as the reallocation of manufacturing capacity to support artificial intelligence infrastructure and increased demand from hyperscale data center operators, and other shortages or similar supply constraints in the future may disrupt and increase the cost of our expected purchases of network equipment and servers.”
“ments may limit public sector contracts to companies headquartered in the governments' respective jurisdictions or require partnerships with companies based in the governments’ respective jurisdictions in order for us to sell any of our products to those governments, which could result in a loss of revenue we otherwise would receive for such sales; • governments may demand better pricing terms and public disclosure of such pricing terms, which may harm our ability to negotiate pricing terms with our non-government customers; and • governments may demand the use of local data centers, labor, or subcontractors which may require significant upfront increase in headcount and other expenses.”
