Is that 12**9 or 12**12?… and does it matter?

The Portable Consultant’s current project wraps up next month, so I’m looking around of course. Well, this one caught my eye because I’ve never done a $12 BILLION project before (US billion or UK billion?… who cares?)

…in search of an experienced Infrastructure Architect to join our client in Toronto, Canada. Our client is currently working on a $12 billion project which will allow TV streaming through your phone line using internet protocols.”

Now, since my home phone doesn’t have a screen I guess they’ll install one. So I suppose that’s where the high cost is coming from. 😉

Cheers!
