 ## Product Overview
 
-Today all light clients are treated equal by the full nodes they connect. A future service model will introduce
-the separation between free and payed services. As outlined by Felföldi Zsolt:
+Current LES is not optimized for usage on mobile phones. So Status is using Infura with all its assets and
+drawbacks. ULC is addressing ultra-light clients and distribution without dependency to central providers.
+Instead a network of trusted LES nodes acts as counterpart for the protocol.

+So Status is supporting the development and testing of ULC to accelerate integration into *geth*.

 - free service is a good indicator of high bandwidth capacity and therefore the capability to provide good service, and
 - paying clients will prefer servers which already gave them free service so free service can act as an advertisement.
 
-Once the service model is introduced changes to Status app are needed:
-
-- Migration from Infura to ULC
-- Choice between free and paid LES service
-- In case of paid LES service definition of demands for auction
+Here Status also supports the development and testing to make the service model become a part of *geth* and be
+integrated into Status.
