1. An apparatus, comprising:
- a mobile cellular communication device that is configured to employ one or more cellular communication standards to exchange one or more portions of network management information with a network infrastructure device, of one or more network infrastructure devices, without communication with a management infrastructure device, wherein the network infrastructure device is employable with one or more of the one or more cellular communication standards;
wherein the mobile cellular communication device is configured to exchange the one or more portions of network management information with the network infrastructure device to one or more of manage and service the network infrastructure device independent of the management infrastructure device;
wherein the mobile cellular communication device comprises a graphical user interface that is configured to allow a user of the mobile cellular communication device to select one or more management procedures for execution to one or more of manage and service the network infrastructure device independent of the management infrastructure device;
wherein the mobile cellular communication device comprises a cellular phone or personal digital assistant that is operable with the one or more of the one or more cellular communication standards to receive a wireless voice, data, and/or short message service.
