A bunch of LiMo Foundation news is breaking this week in the run-up to Mobile World Congress, which hits Barcelona next week.
Here's the ones I've spotted on the wire and the website so far:

That makes five operators backing LiMo, the others being Vodafone, Orange, NTT DoCoMo, SK Telecom, and Verizon Wireless.
