New AT&T commercial fires back at Verizon [Video]
It’s funny how a seemingly innocuous 30 second commercial about 3G cell coverage can ruffle so many feathers. 2 weeks ago, AT&T sued Verizon over a commercial which it claims paints an inaccurate and misleading picture regarding AT&T’s nationwide cellphone coverage.
