AT&T Sues Verizon for 'Map for That' Ads
AT&T Fanboys need to stop misleading about this lawsuit
The lawsuit has nothing to do with the coverage or even directly about the maps. The complaint is very narrowly defined as "misrepresenting the voice and data coverage offered by AT&T to confuse viewers into believing there is no service beyond 3G". AT&T even says in the complaint "We have no quarrel with Verizon advertising its larger 3G network". Additionally, there is nothing wrong with VZW's map or you would have had FCC complaints, other lawsuits, and consumer rights groups crying foul years ago. There are just a lot of haters out there that need to open their eyes and stop looking at things through a stained glass.

It's quite a stretch to imply that there is no coverage at all, as the whole ad is solely about 3G and not once mentions voice on either ends. In fact, the ad is quite specific about high speed and slow speed, not high speed and nothing at all.
...
Thats my point and that is why I think AT&T's lawsuit is laughable. The ad doesn't show them making phone call, specifically refers to more 3G coverage offered by VZW and the lack of 3G coverage by ATT. VZW should encourage ATT customers to file a class action. Hell, if your gonna let it all hang out, whip 'em out and see which one is really bigger.
