The initiative is called WLNP where the LN stands for "Local Number." Numbers will be transferrable if they are within a rate center, generally a switching facility that's larger than an area code-exchange (NPA-NXX) and smaller than a metropolitan area. My understanding is that this applies equally regardless of whether the lines are land or wireless, as long as they are in the same rate center. Practically, I think this is less likely as I have rarely known of wireless NPA-NXX pairs that allocate out of the same rate center as most land lines. My knowledge of number allocations is certainly less than comprehensive.
