I've never heard it called 3G and the difference speed/latency doesn't warrant any change. Great point about wi-fi — they should be pushing that advantage as AT&T hotspots are everywhere.

The International Mobile Telecommunications-2000 (IMT-2000),standard included Edge in the standard. EDGE can be considered a 3G radio technology and is part of ITU's 3G definition. Verizon has conveniently left this factoid off. If they are talking broadband coverage then they need to include WIFI since ATT has a wifi network and Verizon does not. That said I think it's a great ad and definitely highlights the differences between the two carriers. I think the ATT lawsuit has merit.
