ATLANTA (AP) - A federal judge denied a request by AT&T Inc. to force competitor Verizon Wireless to pull its "There's a Map for That" commercials.
But the judge on Wednesday scheduled a Dec. 16 hearing to give the AT&T attorneys another chance to make their case.
AT&T filed the lawsuit in federal court in Atlanta earlier this month and asked for a temporary restraining order and a permanent injunction to stop the ads. It contends they are misleading and amount to deceptive trade practices.
Verizon argues that the commercials are valid and truthful.
The ads show maps of the United States with areas highlighted to depict where third generation "3G" network is available.
The maps use red for Verizon and blue for AT&T to show where each company offers 3G coverage. Areas where 3G isn't available are left blank.
