Abstract
In a network of interconnected wireless networks and wired telephone networks, there is provided a mechanism for sustained association of users with communications paths. It comprises: upon an attempted use of an unassociated telephone, identifying oneself to the network (via the wireless network) and activating one's telephone line by keying one's own telephone number through the telephone keypad, locating his telephone line by monitoring unassociated lines for activity, and the one so identified receiving a sustaining association (for more than a few communications) with the telephone line so located.
