Power, like fame, is a fleeting thing. Only a third of the people named to the list of the 25 Most Powerful People in Networking in last year's Power Issue returned to the 1998 list. Those perennials include the likes of Bill Gates - we suspect you'll see that name once or twice again in the future -John Chambers of Cisco, Netscape's Jim Barksdale and Eric Benhamou of 3Com.

They're joined this year by the likes of Mory Ejabat of Ascend, Alex Mandl of Teligent and his former colleague Joe Nacchio of Qwest.

In addition to the write-ups on the 25 Most Powerful, you'll also find here a roster of 50 others who make a big difference in the enterprise network industry. What's more, we celebrate the return of the Power-O-Meter - our annual reader survey of the most powerful companies and people in networking.

So read on. After all, it's inspiring to rub elbows with the powerful.
