(QTI), that along with its subsidiaries will operate substantially all of Qualcomm’s R&D as well as product and services businesses, including its semiconductor business QCT. These changes really are pro forma, as the company has been operating in this way for some time. However, QTI and its subsidiaries’ product and services businesses will increase their work with open-source software in the future.

The process should be finished by 1Q13.
