JumpTV has expanded their exclusive content with the purchase of the broadband services unit of privately held XOS Technologies, a provider of live and on demand college sports online.

In recent months JumpTV, well known for their streaming of international television stations has ramped up their content offerings, acquiring online rights to stream the FIFA World Cup through 2014 and signing a deal with AOL to increase their distribution.

Users have the option of an ad-supported free version for most channels. More popular content such as live coverage the Israeli and Egyptian football leagues and the 2008 European soccer championships are offered on a subscription or pay-per-view basis at bitrates up to 1MBps.

The sale allows XOS to unload a unit facing increasing competition as more companies enter the online video market leaving them to focus on their Coaching Solutions and Facilities Design & Integration groups, likely their most profitable business segments.
