AT&T Sues Verizon Over "Map For That" Ads

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the sue-sue-sudio dept.

MahlonS writes "AP is reporting on a suit filed in Northern Georgia in which AT&T claims that Verizon's 'There's a Map for That' ads are misleading and amount to deceptive trade practices. Verizon had already agreed to modify their original ad to include a tag line that voice and data services are available outside 3G coverage areas." What's interesting is that on some level, this is actually a lawsuit over data visualization.

    Since Verizon focused on speed and wide coverage, and AT&T has neither from what I have seen with my friends, how does that statement work?

    APK likes to ask for responses to the same things over and over. Maybe he just likes the responses?

    "iPhone gets all the hype, and indeed it's doing quite well for itself, but it's only selling 2/3 as many units as RIM (though catching up)"

    How is it selling "2/3 as many units" yet "catching up?"
