ATT Drops Lawsuit Against Verizon Commericals
Those ads showing orange Verizon covering most of the USA with its cell phone 3G network–with AT&T’s network coverage looking anemic–will continue to roll.
AT&T has dropped its lawsuit against Verizon over the ads.
FROM AT&T drops lawsuit against Verizon over advertising spat:
After failing to have Verizon’s advertisements criticizing its network coverage pulled off of the air, AT&T has decided to drop its lawsuit against the nation’s largest wireless carrier.
Both Verizon and AT&T filed an official dismissal of the case in an Atlanta, Ga., federal court Wednesday. In addition, a separate lawsuit filed by Verizon against AT&T was also dismissed.
In November, AT&T had asked the court to pull what it felt were “misleading” advertisements from Verizon, criticizing AT&T’s nationwide 3G coverage. But a judge later denied that request, noting that though Verizon’s ads could be construed as “sneaky,” they were not misleading. Both parties were originally set to meet in court on Dec. 16 for a second chance to present their case on the proposed injunction.

So, it looks like Verizon’s commercials, while “sneaky” are truthful.
AT&T better hurry to catch up.
