AT&T files lawsuit against Verizon

AT&T has filed a false advertising claim against Verizon Wireless with the National Advertising Division of the Council for Better Business Bureaus. AT&T and Verizon both used phrase lines in their advertising and apparently AT&T has filed a lawsuit against Verizon Wireless for using the phrases, "America's Most Reliable 3G Network" and "America's Best 3G Network" and other similar phrases. AT&T says these statements are false. Verizon Wireless went to the U.S. judge and defended its statements and asked to have them declare "truthful." Verizon asserts that AT&T's argument "relies on the incorrect premise that speed is an essential element of the standard for measuring network reliability." The case is being heard is the U.S. District Court in New York.
