N.J. – RoundBox, a provider of
mobile broadcast software, announced on Tuesday that it has acquired the
technology and intellectual property of Jacked, a provider of real-time,
broadcast-synchronized data services.
Financial terms of the deal were not

interactive media, information, and applications, Jacked has revolutionized the
way people will experience TV," said RoundBox co-founder and CEO Dennis
Specht.
"This acquisition will take Roundbox to the next level as the
company develops new mobile broadcast offerings and drives the next generation
of mobile entertainment and communication experiences."
