When I first heard that commercial, my first thought, once I realized it wasn't an AT&T commercial was, "That's a lawsuit, right there." (nm) - musubi Nov 3, 13:17 3
- It's perfectly legitimate to use the phrase in a critical way. AT&T's concern is that the maps shown by Verizon suggest no coverage whatsoever. - Mop (231 lbs) Nov 3, 13:20 1
  - I just read the snippet you linked. My though it that the lawsuit would be about trademark infringment, not truthiness of the maps. - musubi Nov 3, 13:24
- All I know is that in this part of the country, they are 100% correct. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 13:19
