Abstract
A method and system for geographically verifying a wireless service customer. An operating boundary of a first sector is identified and a first transmitting characteristic is assigned to this first sector. The method includes assigning the customer to operate in the first sector and authorizing the customer to operate according to this first transmitting characteristic. Geographic coordinates of the customer are obtained and it is determined whether the customer resides within the first sector. The customer may be reassigned to a second sector if the customer is physically located within a boundary of a second sector. The method and system facilitates better verification of customer location.
