Sweet irony! Verizon upset about Sprint's 'most dependable 3G network' ad claim

First Verizon launches ads critical of AT&T's network. Then AT&T responds, saying the claims made by Verizon are false or inaccurate. This begins an advertising blitz by AT&T to counter Verizon's ads. In the meantime AT&T initiates legal action against Verizon over the network maps used in the Verizon ads. Now Verizon is apparently upset because Sprint is allegedly doing to Verizon what AT&T claims Verizon did to them. You keeping up so far?
