LiMo Foundation announces new members: Verizon, SK Telecom, Sagem, SFR, Mozilla and others

LiMo Foundation is steadily gaining momentum. Industry seems to be scared of Google's Open Handset Alliance and they're jumping to other big Linux group. That being said, LiMo has announced the addition of new member companies — Infineon Technologies, Kvaleberg AS, Mozilla Corporation, Red Bend Software, Sagem Mobiles, SFR, SK Telecom and Verizon Wireless, which joined the group as a Core member and will fill the final seat on LiMo's board of directors.

Commenting on the announcement, executive director of LiMo Foundation Morgan Gillis said: "This latest group of new members demonstrates the rapidly expanding reach of the LiMo ecosystem, and we are very excited by their commitment to further enrich the LiMo Platform and accelerate its adoption within all markets. It is now clear that LiMo's transparent and participative governance model and total focus on the handset operating system—which are designed to avoid value-chain distortion—are proving to be very attractive to the whole industry."
