Verizon Wireless and AT&T engage in legal fisticuffs over ad slogans

Which North American wireless provider do you think is telling the
truth in its advertising? If you answered "none of 'em," you're
probably right, but that's not stopping Verizon Wireless from going
to court to uphold its commercial honor, having been called out by
AT&T earlier this month. VZW took the A train down to US
District Court in Manhattan asking that its slogans like "America's
Most Reliable 3G Network" be validated, claims AT&T earlier
said were false. We're not quite sure why 'ol Blue and White is
getting feisty, since it's had its fair share of
issues, but maybe this is just some attempt to make the two
look like they hate each other in public while exchanging sweet
nothings and
text messaging price hikes in private. All we know is this
isn't the first time carriers have battled over such claims,
and it sure won't be the last.
