10 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the at least a second profile is different from the at least a first profile.

11 . The device of claim 9 , wherein the operations further comprise:

obtaining, based on the providing of the at least a second profile, a selection of a profile included in the at least a second profile; and

invoking at least a second action in accordance with the selection of the profile included in the at least a second profile, wherein the at least a second action comprises: an allocation of a second network resource in conjunction with the first communication service, configuring the second user equipment with a second parametric value, or a combination thereof.

12 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:

subsequent to the invoking, identifying that a network load has changed from a first value to a second value; and

based on the identifying that the network load has changed, invoking at least a second action in accordance with the change from the first value to the second value.

13 . The device of claim 12 , wherein the invoking of the at least a second action comprises: allocating a second network resource that is different from the first network resource in conjunction with the first communication service, configuring the first user equipment with a second parametric value that is different from the first parametric value, or a combination thereof.

14 . The device of claim 1 , wherein the obtaining of the selection of the profile included in the at least a first profile comprises obtaining a modification of the first profile from the first user equipment, and wherein the invoking of the at least a first action in accordance with the selection comprises invoking the at least a first action in accordance with the modification.

15 . The device of claim 14 , wherein the operations further comprise:

modifying the first profile in accordance with the modification, resulting in a modified first profile; and

saving the modified first profile in a database, a library, a storage medium, or any combination thereof.

16 . A non-transitory machine-readable medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processing system including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:

identifying a first type of a first communication service requested by a first communication device, resulting in a first identification;

providing, based on the first identification, at least a first profile to the first communication device;

obtaining, based on the providing, a selection of a profile included in the at least a first profile;

invoking at least a first action in accordance with the selection, wherein the invoking of the at least a first action comprises: allocating a first network resource in conjunction with the first communication service, configuring the first communication device with a first parametric value, or a combination thereof;

activating a second profile based on a predetermined schedule; and

invoking at least a second action in response to the activating, wherein the invoking of the at least a second action comprises allocating a second network resource provided by a portable infrastructure element comprising a land or air vehicle,

wherein the invoking of the at least a second action is conditioned upon receipt of a payment associated with a request for enhanced services.

17 . The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 16 , wherein the invoking of the at least a first action comprises the configuring the first communication device with the first parametric value, and wherein the first parametric value pertains to: a transmission power level, a receiver sensitivity level, a frequency or frequency band, antenna directionality, a modulation or demodulation scheme, and an encryption or decryption scheme.

18 . A method, comprising:

identifying, by a processing system including a processor, a first type of a first communication service requested by a first user equipment, resulting in a first identification;

providing, by the processing system and based on the first identification, at least a first profile to the first user equipment;

obtaining, by the processing system and based on the providing, a selection of a profile included in the at least a first profile;

invoking, by the processing system, at least a first action in accordance with the selection, wherein the invoking of the at least a first action comprises: allocating a first network resource in conjunction with the first communication service and configuring the first user equipment with a first parametric value;

subsequent to the invoking, receiving, by the processing system, a request for enhanced services from the first user equipment; and
