Regardless, $900,00 or $5m is still chump change in this context.

Your comment though is in the wrong lace for some reason – I will try to move it.

I heard it would be at least 5 million, plus take a while to do. Normally the networks will share that cost, as interference is normal with that sort of technology, however it appears vodafone isn’t willing to pay a cent, to install filters. Also installing filters on telecoms XT network will affect it’s performance. I have heard that a lot of the problem is vodafone, as they have pushed their network too far, without proper investment. If they were using their hardware the way it was designed, and weren’t pushing it past the maximum, they probably wouldn’t have the issue.
I have a another vodafone story, and that is with Vodafone wanting to install a cell tower in an area that telecom has previous abandoned after public pressure. Apparently vodafone are going to go ahead anyway, even though the public have said they don’t want a tower next door.

Did the small print get cut off?

Ironic that in a post about assessing credibility you should make such a mistake!
