Welcome to our inaugural special report on Mobile Movers and Shakers for 2008. In this report, RCR Wireless News recognizes just some of the people who have been or hope to be instrumental in shaping the industry, leading it into new areas and creating for it fresh opportunities.

In four parts, we'll list the 20 people who are watched by competitors and colleagues alike for hints on how wireless will unfold. Click here for yesterday's list.

However, this list is by no means exhaustive, either in terms of nominees or categories. It leaves out many worthy candidates, a point that we want to acknowledge upfront. In fact, we received more than 400 nominations from readers.

It also isn’t a list of “winners.” Some of the companies represented herein have yet to experience financial or critical success.

Indeed, this list is just a starting point — for us and, we hope, for you. So please enjoy our first attempt at assembling a linear list out of this messy, chaotic and topsy-turvy industry, even as we begin to take a closer look at some of the people who likely will be next year’s movers and shakers.

Stay tuned for our last, complete batch of Mobile Movers & Shakers 2008, which will post first thing tomorrow. — Tracy Ford, Editor and Associate Publisher
