Recently, AT&T sued Verizon<\/a> over its “There’s A Map For That” ad, that mocked AT&T’s 3G network coverage, while playing on the Apple iPhone slogan of “there’s an app for that.” It seemed like an odd thing for AT&T to do, as it really just called more attention to the ad and the differences in 3G networks. Now, to make matters even worse, a judge has refused to issue an injunction stopping the ad<\/a>. That doesn’t stop the lawsuit, though, and the ad might still get taken down if AT&T wins, but it’s unlikely Verizon’s ad campaign is going to last until the lawsuit is finally decided, anyway. So for now, all it’s done is driven a lot more attention to the ad, in which Verizon comes out favorably.<\/p>\n
