AT&T, Sprint Settle Dispute over Use of Marketing Term 5GE

Sprint dropped a February lawsuit against AT&T over the marketing term 5GE, for 5G evolution, to describe upgraded LTE service, they confirmed. Representatives said consumers will continue to see 5GE marketing and advertising. Sprint had asked U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York for an immediate preliminary injunction against AT&T. The case is #1:19-cv-01215-VSB. "The significance of AT&T’s deception cannot be overstated," Sprint said then (see 1902080038). “We have amicably settled this matter,” an AT&T spokesperson emailed now.
