That was pointed out months ago.
In any case, the advertising claim by Cingular is incorrect. That's why
they are being sued.

1) Telephia never claimed that Cingular had the fewest dropped calls,
and in fact never analyzes its own data.
2) Telephia did state that is some markets, in some time periods,
Cingular had fewer dropped calls, a far cry from what Cingular is now
advertising, and a claim that other carriers could probably also
legitimately use in their own advertising.
3. Telephia used a GSM phone with an external antenna for its tests, and
Sprint claims that this taints the results because most phones offered
b Cingular don't have an external antenna.
4. The areas where Telephia collected their data are not representative
of average users (according to Sprint, Telephia did their data
collection on major highways).
Of course neither Cingular nor Telephia will release their data, which
pretty much assures that the data is highly suspect.
