16. A method comprising:
-
a) identifying a licensed wireless communication system for receiving a service request through licensed wireless frequencies;
b) receiving a service request at an access point without using the licensed wireless frequencies generated by the licensed wireless communication system; and
c) sending the received service request to said licensed wireless communication system, wherein sending comprises passing data associated with the service request to the licensed wireless communication system in order for the licensed wireless communication system to identify for a recipient of the service request, a civic address associated with a location of the access point based on the data. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A system comprising:
-
a user equipment for initiating a service request;
a recipient for receiving the service request;
a licensed wireless first communication network; and
a second communication network communicatively coupled to the first communication system for sending the service request to the recipient, wherein the second communication network comprises an access point communicatively coupled to the user equipment, wherein the first communication network retrieves a civic address associated with a location of the access point from the second communication network and routes data for accessing the retrieved civic address to the recipient. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27)

28. A system comprising:
-
a) a licensed wireless first communication network for enabling at least one service request with at least one user equipment; and
b) a second communication network comprising;
1) a plurality of access points for receiving service requests without using said licensed wireless frequencies;
2) a network controller for communicatively coupling to the access points to pass the service requests and keys associated with the access points to said first communication network;
wherein the first communication network identifies for a recipient of a service request, a civic address associated with a location of an access point based on an associated key of the access point. - View Dependent Claims (29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34)
