Nextel Communications today filed suit against Verizon Wireless, claiming
that Verizon Wireless' new advertisements for its push-to-talk service make
false claims about Nextel's network. Neither Nextel nor Verizon Wireless
have yet to comment on the suit. U.S. carriers have stepped up their
advertising battles in recent weeks. In addition to the growing fight
between Nextel and Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless and Sprint PCS have been
taking pot shots at one another in recent months in an attempt to win a
greater share of the mobile enterprise market. Most analysts see these
fights as a sign of the growing saturation of the North American wireless
market.
