Why does the iPhone never show AT&T in commercials/ads?

The box is an example. It only shows bars and the 3G. Why no AT&T?

Because Apple is in charge of marketing the iPhone?

Because it's about the iPhone, not the cell network that it happens to be on.

Someone hasn't been watching commercials closely enough. Example:

Don't they usually show the AT&T logo at the very end of the commercial? I think they do... right?

Edit: Oh wait, we're talking about the signal part. Well, I guess the guy above me made the point already. I never really pay attension to the upper right of the phone during the commercials.

I'd imagine that's only in the US. Since these commercials get shown round the globe I would think it's whatever carrier they're on in those countries/areas.
