imo AT&T suing Verizon is funny. AT&T misled customers first by making 3G seem as expansive as network: http://bit.ly/2G3Zub @engadget 9 days ago |
AT&T sues Verizon over "There's a Map for That" campaign
9 to 5 Mac - Apple Intelligence —
... AT&T is suing Verizon because it believes the "There's a Map for That" advertising is misleading. AT&T contend that the maps shown confuse the customer into believing there is no coverage at all in the white spots on AT&T's map when in fact there is either EDGE or GPRS service in those areas. ...
AT&T sues Verizon, Verizon releases new Droid ad
Computerworld Blogs - Macintosh & Apple —
AT&T is suing Verizon for their recent "There's a map for that" ad campaign. They complain that the maps that Verizon publishes could confuse people (even though they are clearly stating "3G Access") into thinking the white spaces on the map represent areas where AT&T doesn't have coverage. Here's the ad in question: I'm no lawyer, but I think the complaint is pretty weak. This is just good advertising. Point out a weakness that potential customers care about and exploit it. AT&T should focus on fixing their own network, not suing people for pointing out how bad it is. In ...

AT&T Seeking To Block Verizon From Showing 3G-less Areas As "Blank" In Ads

... flow of oxygen to the brain (disclaimer: not necessarily based in fact) . The fact is that the strong point for the AT&T-iPhone duo is the iPhone. Most of the surface area in the United States is not covered by AT&T's 3G network. Most of it is covered by Verizon. Not to mention that Verizon's ad is blatantly about 3G coverage specifically, and even has the map accurately labeled as such. AT&T is going to need something better if they want to push back at Verizon on this one. [via Engadget ]
Verizon ads mock AT&T's 3G network

... 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), and the Georgia False Advertising Act and Deceptive Trade Practices Act. AT&T asserts that notwithstanding the disclaimer, "Verizon is still
conveying the message that AT&T has no coverage in the white or
blank space included in the maps, and thus AT&T customers cannot
use their wireless devices in large portions of the United States." Of
