Resource-sensitive token-based access point selection is disclosed. A user equipment (UE) can generate a request for resources that can be shared with an selection component remote from the UE. The request for resources can be generated independent of the UE receiving information about an access point (AP) in range of the UE. The selection component can pair the UE with an AP resource based on AP data and UE data. The selection component can generate a token comprising information related to the pairing. The UE can receive the token via a device other than the AP or via the AP. The token can be employed by the UE to initiate a link to the AP to enable use of the AP resource by the UE. The link can be resource sensitive in view of the request for resources and available AP resources.

Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, a media server having a processing system including a processor; and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate sending a datastream to a display device. The datastream may include an identification thereof. Upon receiving the identification from a user, the media server associates the datastream with the user. The media server may send to the user, a listing of the media services to which the user has subscribed. Upon receiving, from the user, a selection of a selected media service, the media server streams the selected media service to the display device over the datastream. The datastream may be controlled with the user for as long as the media server detects the user in a vicinity of the display device. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Concepts and technologies are disclosed for an identity vault service. According to one aspect disclosed herein, an identity vault service system can collect self-attested and operator-attested user information. The operator-attested user information can be associated with a user and a mobile telecommunications service provided to the user by a mobile network operator. The system can create a trusted digital identity of the user based upon the self-attested and operator-attested user information. The system can receive an identity access request from a third party. The request can be for access to at least a portion of the trusted digital identity for use by the third party in performance of an act. The system can send a consent request to a user device and can receive a consent response that indicates whether the user permits access to at least the portion of the trusted digital identity of the user.

Crowd-location based analytics for transactions are provided. An assembly of mobile devices in a cell sector (or, in some embodiments, a cell) of wireless coverage can be determined. The assembly can be referred to as a crowd and can comprise a number of mobile devices greater than the cell sector's average device occupation. Organization entities located within the cell sector also can be identified. A demand or interest for an asset (e.g., a service or merchandise) can be determined for the mobile device based at least on a device profile. The demand or interest can be associated with the organization entity that can provide the asset. Promotional information related to the asset can be sent to the mobile device and/or a device associated with the organization entity. The mobile device can present at least a portion of such information and a transaction related to the asset can be performed otherwise facilitated.
