AT&T and Verizon Mutually Drop Lawsuits

December 2, 2009

AT&T Inc. on Wednesday, dismissed its lawsuit against Verizon Wireless and its recent “There’s A Map For That” campaign.

AT&T had already suffered a legal setback when a judge rejected its request to pull the ads last month, which the Dallas carrier argued inaccurately suggested inferior network coverage. The court ruled that Verizon Wireless’s ads, which showed maps comparing coverage, clearly talked about third-generation, or 3G, coverage.

Verizon has dismissed a similar lawsuit against AT&T.

Now maybe AT&T could focus it’s efforts on improving it’s 3G coverage, instead of wasting it’s money on empty and pointless lawsuits.
