New Apple iPhone lawsuit claims AT&T oversold its network

William J. Gillis, Jr. has filed a class action lawsuit in California, stating that AT&T and Apple knowingly oversold the new iPhone 3G, causing network degradation on AT&T. Gillis claims this degradation is affecting other 3G users at AT&T, not just iPhone users, and is a serious matter.

The lawsuit asks for class action status, so that every AT&T customer in California - iPhone owner or not - could receive compensation for slow and intermittent network coverage. Gillis is seeking punitive damages, as well as an injunction requiring both Apple and AT&T publicly reveal the iPhone's true capabilities, and compensatory damages to be paid out to the plaintiffs.
