Once upon a time, in a land filled with tech gadgets, there was a digital camera named Snap. Snap loved to take pictures and record videos, but he was always running out of space to store all of his memories.

One day, Snap heard about a new contract offered by a digital carrier named DataByte. The contract promised unlimited storage for all of Snap's pictures and videos. Excited to never have to worry about running out of space again, Snap signed the contract and became a DataByte customer.

But things didn't go exactly as planned. Snap soon realized that his pictures and videos were taking forever to download and he couldn't seem to get a good coverage signal from DataByte. Frustrated, Snap went to see the DataByte technician for help.

The technician explained that Snap's pictures and videos were too big to be easily transmitted because of the codec he was using. The technician then recommended that Snap use a smaller codec to make his files smaller and easier to download.

Snap was hesitant at first, but the technician promised him that the smaller codec would still keep the quality of his pictures and videos the same. With nothing to lose, Snap agreed to try the new codec.

And it worked! Snap's pictures and videos were now small enough to download quickly and with no coverage issues. He was able to store all of his memories and share them with his friends and family.

From that day on, Snap always made sure to use the right codec and was never worried about running out of storage space again. And DataByte was happy because they finally had a satisfied customer. The end.
