These videos would play in the very short period of time between entering the last digit of a phone number, and the time picking up the phone, but they could also play during the time that people are placed on hold or are transferred. Most videos would be very short because of that, though longer ones could be chosen for places like call centers. I could see businesses using video ringbacks in different ways, with some uses being better than others. Movie studios, televisions stations, and movie theatres could show snippets of movies/shows that are presently showing, or which might be almost ready to release. Musicians, concert halls, and recording studios could show clips from performances that haven't been released to the public. Newspapers and magazines could show video montages of the headlines for the day or week or month - which might alternate. Publishers and authors could show pieces of interviews with authors. Athletes, sports teams, and stadiums could show video snippets from sporting events - highlight reels and so on. Municipal government can show off some of the scenic points of interest in their cities, provide public service messages. There are many other possibilities... Hi Evan,

I'm interested to see what application you could see businesses using this b/c while I was at the AlwaysOn Media conference, Vringo, did a presentation which I saw as completely pointless. Who wants to actually watch a video clip of someone else's choosing when you get a phone call, not me. just my .02 Evan Marketingshift.com PPClab.com Bill, I completely disagree with the Video Ringbacks idea.
