AT&T Inc. settled a lawsuit with Sprint Corp. over whether its use of a “5G E” icon tricked consumers into thinking they were getting access to a fifth-generation network.
“We have amicably settled this matter,” AT&T said in an emailed statement. Terms of the resolution weren’t available, but a person familiar with the situation said the carrier will continue to use the 5G E brand -- short for 5G Evolution -- in advertising and on its phones.
