A method and system for delivering wireless telephone service to landline
customers via local loop telephone lines. Each of multiple local loop
telephone lines will be interfaced with a respective wireless bridge at a
point between a telephone company switch and the customer premises to
which the local loop telephone line extends. Telephone equipment at the
customer premises could then place and receive calls on the PSTN, and the
wireless bridge will extend those calls to the PSTN via a wireless access
network, thereby bypassing the ILEC's switching infrastructure.
