Mobilitysite: “There’s a Lawsuit for That…”

    I wouldn't be surprised if at&t's survey was accurate. It is amazing to find out what people don't know.
    That said it would be better to run ads that inform the public rather than sue verizon.

    Too bad Apple doesn't take the same stance in regards to Windows, but rather resorts to mud slinging and half truths.

    I wonder if Verizon will expose AT&T's hypocrisy. AT&T in their ads says "America's fastest 3G network". If AT&T is mentioning 3G networks in their ads, how can they blame Verizon for doing the same?

    Also, isn't AT&T's claim disserving the public by making them think AT&T's entire network is faster than Verizon's?

    Oops....

    If I surveyed my family and friends I'll bet very few of them have a clue about what 3G means...(oh wait, you mean you can surf the web from a cellphone connection)?

    I think the question the average person (one who does not hang out in places like MobilitySite) would have for this advertising campaign is, "Who cares?"

    AT&T has provided some justification for their lawsuit. It seems that Verizon is counting parts of their network with speeds that match 2.5G EDGE as 3G, but not doing the same for AT&T's network.

    See http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/09/11/10/a... .

    I live in what is a sea of red on Verizon's network but I never even get that slow "3G" speed - I'm stuck at 1xRTT at my house (basically, dial-up speed). And my vacation house, although red in Verizon's map, is actually part of US Cellular that allows roaming to Verizon (only in the last two years for data) but also not at 3G.

    We all know that AT&T service is now on a plummet but we also need to settle the facts first and see the side of AT&.

    Updates: ATT had recently released a statement why they are suing Verizon. May the "there's a misinterpretaion for that that” image help you to understand better why AT&T is having a boiling-point over the matter.

    Hint: The conflict is about not including AT&T’s Zedge 2.5G on the picture :D

    Flame-on!
