While I won't argue if the 1.1 billion should be included or not, it needs to be remembered that at the moment this is currently only a loss on paper. While I can't find where I was reading it (I'm sure it was on slashdot, but I can't seem to find it), Someone was discussing that the advantage of them choosing such a large figure now, is that in the future, when it only costs them, say, 0.8 billion, they can work the books and claim a 0.3 billion profit.
I'm not sure how correct this is, but given the way business works I'm sure there is at least some truth behind it.
