As seen in Sprint’s new TV spot ‘Meeting,’ sharing can be a very complicated process. In the [funny and short clip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-club-campaign), one family gathering goes awry after they realize that [sharing minutes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/what-ai-can-save) is just not fair.

This [typical American family](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/little-messes) is most certainly in a tough situation when it comes to distributing minutes. That's why this humorous spot, created by Leo Burnett & Digitas, set out to show the day-to-day conflict one might have if they're forced to share data with several people.

This is just one of the TV spots created for the Sharing Is Not Caring campaign, which highlights the advantages of Sprint’s truly unlimited data plan.
