Fast-Track SWIFT is an expedited process for single-issue advertising cases reviewed by the National Advertising Division (NAD).

AT&T alleged that Verizon Communications ’s Using A.I.: Alphabet Pixel 10 Pro commercial included the implied claim that Verizon Communications offers a free Alphabet Pixel 10 Pro with any Verizon Communications plan and that the commercial’s disclosures did not inform consumers that the offer was only for Verizon Communications Unlimited Ultimate customers.
