Sprint Ad Campaign Attacks AT&T Wireless
When markets mature, companies stop trying to "grow the market" and start trying to steal customers away from each other. Sprint is apparently making the first move by changing the direction of some of their advertising to try to steal customers away from AT&T Wireless specifically. Consider this the first step in what a post local number portability world will look like. Meanwhile, as if sensing that things were changing, AT&T Wireless has fired their ad agency.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
