AT&T Sues Verizon

(AP) - AT&T Inc. is suing Verizon Wireless over its competitor’s “There’s a Map for That” commercials, saying in a lawsuit the ads are misleading and amount to deceptive trade practices.
AT&T filed the suit in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia and is asking for a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to stop the ads. The company says AT&T has “suffered and continues to suffer irreparable harm” as a result of the commercials.
Verizon’s ads show maps of the United States with areas highlighted to depict where third generation or “3G” network coverage is available.
The map showing Verizon’s 3G coverage is filled with far more dots than the one showing AT&T’s.
AT&T says the maps are misleading because there’s still regular coverage in areas where “3G” service is not offered.
