A system and method are provided for creating a picocell service alternate t o a wireless network service. The method comprises: detecting a multiple acces s (MA) wireless communications network, such as a terrestrial or satellite network; and, generating a first picocell in response to detecting the MA wireless network. Typically, the method comprises receiving requests for picocell service from mobile stations, in response to generating the first picocell. In one aspect, the service requests made by the mobile stations ar e denied. In another aspect, the method further comprises: establishing a firs t picocell MSC; and, providing network services to mobile stations via the fir st picocell, in response to the requests for picocell service. For example, the first picocell MSC may provide the same network services that are provided b y a conventional terrestrial network, for example. Alternately, the method establishes an alternative wireless network (a second picocell) to provide services.
