Verizon Wireless Joins LiMo Foundation

May 14, 2008, 8:37 AM by Eric M. Zeman

Verizon Wireless and the LiMo Foundation announced that the network operator has joined LiMo as a Core member, and has taken a seat at the foundation's board of directors. Verizon said that the move is meant to help foster the idea of openness and the rise of mobile Linux phone platforms. LiMo hopes to speed the development of its own LiMo Platform to market. Bringing in support from network operators is an important step in that process. The LiMo Foundation has 39 other members, including Verizon's business partner, Vodafone.
