It's the executives that make the decisions to engage in this nonsense.

And the "executives" know they have a team of lawyers to defend their
actions.

I think that in this case it's a case of a vendetta. Sprint essentially
destroyed Cingular's multi-million dollar ad campaign based on the
Telephia "fewest dropped calls" survey, with the publicity from the BBB
complaint. Now Cingular is trying to destroy Sprint's "most powerful
network" ad campaign. Meanwhile, T-Mobile and Verizon are looking on in
bemusement, since they are the ultimate beneficiaries.
