Roundbox Completes Acquisition of Jacked Technology

Roundbox, Inc., the global leader in mobile broadcast software, today announced the acquisition of Jacked, Inc.'s technology and intellectual property. Jacked, Inc., an innovator in real-time, broadcast-synchronized data services, developed pioneering platform and companion applications, which seamlessly deliver rich, real-time Web content contextually synchronized to and complementing live broadcast television.
