I doubt the $10 text deal will influence their decision on rolling out a new network!!

What does the $10 promotion has to do with a new billion dollar network?

Story in yesterday's press says it's due for completion in Nov 2008 so ZIMsar10's probably on the money.

I thought they were only spending $300 Million on their new network initially?

Hyperbole, a figure of speech, in this case used to show that there is no relation between extremes. Also suggest checking irony.
