Whoever said, “there’s no such thing as bad press,” obviously never worked for a wireless carrier. For the likes of AT&T ( NYSE: T ), the kind of bad press that Verizon…
AT&T might have lost the first battle in court (and we told you about the denied injunction last week) but the carrier is not going to stop fighting AT&T. The carrier keeps rolling out those ads featuring Luke Wilson and we might see a lot more in the following weeks. ...
When I think escalating mega cellphone carrier ad war, I think actor Luke Wilson. Oh wait, no I don't, and yet here he is, again , striking back on behalf of AT&T against Verizon Wireless. Now, good on AT&T for fighting back with more ads and not more silly lawsuits and all, but the Verizon holiday ad lineup is pretty strong, and I don't see many Verizon customers losing sleep over Luke Wilson...
It all started with Verizon’s “ There’s a map for that ” ads that emphasized the poor 3G coverage provided by AT&T. Next came a lawsuit from AT&T , claiming the ads were misleading, and a series of holiday-themed ads from the Verizon camp . Finally, AT&T decided to hit back with an ad of its own, bringing in actor Luke Wilson to point out AT&T’s advantages....
Two new iPhone ads have debuted, both touting the smartphone's ability to handle simultaneous voice and data connection in different scenarios.

Apple asks "can your phone and your network do that?" So far Apple has stayed out of the advertising spat between iPhone operator AT&T and rival network Verizon, but Apple's latest ads for its mobile makes a feature of the network in runs on - which can't be a coincidence considering the bashing Verizon has doled out of late, even sending the iPhone to the island of misfit toys . While...

Apple yesterday released two more television commercials supporting partner AT&T while critical of Verizon's inability to simultaneously handle calls and other tasks.
For the last month and a half, AT&T and Verizon have been at war . Verizon launched ads tearing down AT&T’s 3G coverage, AT&T countered with a lawsuit and ads starring Luke Wilson . Hell, even Apple is getting involved in this messy affair. With the two largest mobile networks making headlines, we thought it would be appropriate to make them the subject of this week’s Web Faceoff...

AT&T has just revealed two new commercials that again, take aim at Verizon. Did you really expect anything different? Both of these new ads star Luke Wilson just like the “Side by Side” commercial that debuted last week. As you can see above, “Two Phones” concentrates on the fact that you need two phones to [...]
Apple plans to air two ads tonight that show off the iPhone's ability to simultaneously use data and voice services on AT&T's network, a feature absent from Verizon's network.
Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) is obviously not happy with AT&T’s network reputation taking a beating—especially since it’s the only network in the U.S. selling its iPhone during the busy holiday shopping season. Tonight, Apple will do its part to defend AT&T ( NYSE: T ) against Verizon’s ad campaign that has criticized the iPhone network as having more holes in its 3G network...
