[...] According to Dan Frommer at the Business Insider, AT&T and Verizon Wireless have agreed to end their legal tussle over the Verizon ads that slam AT&T’s 3G coverage. Good for Verizon. And good for AT&T, too–as far as I can see, the suit it filed against [...]

I’m not high tech enough to understand how all these things work all the time but I know that I can pick up with my Alltel in places that AT&T can’t

Its funny that AT&T isn’t arguing that the map Verizon displays in the ad is inaccurate, implying that it is accurate. The ad is all about the things you can do with 3G not 2G. They clearly state that they’re showing 3G-only coverage maps in the ad. If the maps are accurate, I don’t see what there is to sue Verizon about.

Interesting story.

@jltnol: Well, the US is HUGE, so getting 3G everywhere won’t happen anytime soon… And don’t get yourself down: exept for Asia, NO country has decent 3G coverage: I live in Belgium, with a population desinty 10x that of the US, and even here you can’t get decent 3G coverage – not even in teh cities!

As you said: all carrierscare about is huge profits: not through great service though, but through misleading customers and selling long binding contracts with, truth be told, great phones like the iPhone, droid and others…

I’ve said this a million times…

THEY ALL SUCK. Period. End of sentence.

Even the “fastest 3G network” isn’t any good if its not everywhere(and truth be told, its not that fast)… and more 3G coverage isn’t that good if it’s slow(and truth be told, it really isn’t everywhere.

Why is the US so far behind the rest of the developed world when it comes to delivering communication services? Because companies in other countries deliver services…. in the US, all companies deliver is profits.
