Verizon responds to AT&T’s “Map For That” lawsuit

It certainly looks like the drama is heating up between Verizon and AT&T. Verizon has posted its response to AT&T’s lawsuit in regards to improper (or “inaccurate”) use of AT&T 3G maps to demonstrate 3G coverage between carriers. Verizon’s claim, “the truth hurts”.

The introduction summarized this well:

“AT&T did not file this lawsuit because Verizon’s “There’s A Map For That” advertisements are untrue; AT&T sued because Verizon’s ads are true and the truth hurts.”

This should be an interesting case for the courts to sort out.

Here’s a very good article which summarizes the FCC’s recent inquiry into the rejection of Google’s Voice application for the iPhone. It’s interesting to see that Julius Genachowski is taking the FCC into the net/application neutrality direction.

I am currently evaluating message security solutions by various vendors. In order to facillitate this test, I have setup a temporary domain along with an email account. I’m posting it here in the hopes that people will spam it.
