In the recent months, RealNetworks has announced plans to start running three of its divisions as standalone business units (a common tactic for companies seeking to sell or spin-off sections of their whole), cut 80 jobs and warned of more cuts, and released its free RealPlayer for Android. Founder and chairman Rob Glaser returned to the CEO helm in July after Thomas Nielsen stepped down following a 7-month stint. Shortly after Glaser's return to the CEO slot, Real named Seattle angel investor John Cunningham to the board.
