Sprint mocks AT&T, offers 4G network to iPhone users

Sprint has a new TV commercial that pokes fun at AT&T's network while offering a way for iPhone users to grab lightening quick 4G speeds. In the spot, Matt says that his buddy's iPhone is "cool", but limited to AT&T's 3G speeds. Matt goes into his pocket and whips out the Sprint Overdrive which will allow Steve to access Sprint's 4G network on his cool iPhone. And while Matt symbolically chews away at an Apple, Steve is using the Overdrive to get 10 times faster speeds for his iPhone. A interesting concept for Sprint, using a competitor's phone to sell it's 4G services. Does this call for a response from Luke Wilson and AT&T?
