AT&T argued that its claims conveyed a substantiated self-referential message and not a comparative one. https://www.mondaq.com/unitedstates/telecoms-mobile-cable-communications/1027376/brands-gotta-brag-a-little-when-best-possible-claims-are-self-referential-rather-than-comparative?email_access=on ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20210127001941.E09CC736@telecom2018.csail.mit.edu> Date: Wed, 27 Jan 2021 00:19:41 +0000 (UTC) From: Moderator <telecomdigestsubmissions@remove-this.telecom-digest.org> Subject: WV: Phone lines down at DMC ELKINS - The Randolph Elkins Health Department is reporting that the phone lines at Davis Medical Center are currently down and being repaired by Frontier Communications.
