AT&T's suit was brought by several individuals who sued AT&T when it announced its new LTE-Advanced network. Verizon, meanwhile, was accused by the lawsuit of making a misleading claim in its statement that it is "preventing 5G E" and of using an outdated technology to make it appear that it is more competitive. AT&T claimed that this is not true.

AT&T's claim was that the 6.4 GHz spectrum it uses is still the 1.9 GHz spectrum it uses today, and that the new 6.4 GHz spectrum is available for sale in "5G E."

The lawsuit, which AT&T says is for "the 5G E spectrum that will become available under the new 5G LTE network," was filed today (July 20) on behalf of AT&T and Sprint, along with a group of others.

"The plaintiffs are asking for an injunction on AT&T's unlawful and misleading use of the 5G E spectrum in order to stop AT&T from using the [new 5G LTE] spectrum for their 5G E LTE network," the court filing reads. AT&T has already filed a similar lawsuit, claiming that the new spectrum is not "premium," and that the new spectrum is also not "unavailable" to consumers.

AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile are trying to shut down AT&T's LTE-Advanced network, which is designed to compete with their 5G LTE networks. The lawsuit says that AT&T used "the same 5G spectrum" as its 5G LTE network by using it to create a "premium" 5G network and that "the defendants' failure to stop AT&T's use of the 5G LTE spectrum makes it a competitive advantage."

In fact, T-Mobile has been using the 5G LTE network for the past 12 months, the lawsuit says. T-Mobile has used the 5G LTE network for the past 12 months. According to OpenSignal, AT&T is claiming that the 6.4 GHz spectrum used by some of its 5G LTE network customers is still available for sale in 5G E.
