NEW YORK (AP) - AT&T Inc. is giving up on a lawsuit that sought to force competitor Verizon Wireless to pull its "There's a Map for That" commercials.
AT&T filed the lawsuit in federal court in Atlanta last month, saying the Verizon ads amount to deceptive trade practices. AT&T said the ads, which show the range of AT&T's "3G" network coverage for high-speed data, could give viewers the impression that AT&T has no service at all outside those areas.
On Wednesday, AT&T and Verizon filed a joint notice to withdraw the case. They are also abandoning a court case in New York. In that case, each company claimed that ads by the other - with claims like "most reliable 3G network" and "more bars in more places - were false.
