Microsoft, Qualcomm And Intel Join Forces on 'Internet Of Things' Standards

Chip making rivals Intel and Qualcomm want to finally play nice in the “Internet of Things.” The two will begin collaborating with each other under OIC’s new name: the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF). The new entity will replace all of OIC’s activities. Existing OIC members will move over to this new organization. Qualcomm will stay involved in AllSeen and any device running the AllSeen standard will also work on the new OFC standard, a spokeswoman said.
