Video IVR A new wave of mobile content is coming to Ukraine as well, with the start of Utel 3G. One of the most interesting functionalities is the video IVR menus. To spur up your fantasy, just imagine that you can call a restaurant to book a table, and waiter lets you see the table where you'll be seated, or when you call an information hotline, you can also see the tech support person you're calling, and so on.

The problem with this is that most of the 3G phones support the H.263 video standard with Adaptive Multi-Rate compression (AMR) audio. This standard supports only 176x144 picture resolution, and was originally designed for mobile video conferencing - if you try to view video fragments that require greater detail, such as films, sport events or hot babes, it just won't work: the picture will be too blurry to see any details.

So, all these great video telephony ideas will have to wait till the H.264 standard will become more popular, which will support higher resolution video.

  FCBi Ukraine I am in the process of starting new agency - FCBi Ukraine, as a new business unit of FCB Media Arts Group. FCB Media Arts is the second largest privately owned communications holding in the CIS.

Basically, I will continue doing the same - interactive communications, mobile marketing, new media - but as a part of a larger structure, which obviously provides great synergy, as well as opportunities to work on large challenging projects.

The agency's uniqueness is combination of expertise in all digital media, including internet, mobile, bluetooth. We call it "DDD" - Direct, Database & Digital.

I am expanding my team, and looking for:
- Art Director
- Media Planner
- Account Manager
- Internet Project Manager
- Graphic Designer
- HTML Coder/PHP Programmer
