                  SECTION 302 OF THE SARBANES-OXLEY ACT OF 2002

I, James Mandel, Chief Executive Officer of Multiband Corporation, certify that:

1.    I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Multiband Corporation;

2.    Based on my  knowledge,  this  annual  report  does not contain any untrue
      statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
      make the statements made, in light of the  circumstances  under which such
      statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
      this quarterly report;

3.    Based on my knowledge,  the consolidated  financial statements,  and other
      financial  information  included in this annual report,  fairly present in
      all material respects the financial  condition,  results of operations and
      cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this
      annual report;

4.    The  registrant's  other  certifying  officer  and  I am  responsible  for
      establishing  and  maintaining  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  (as
      defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15e and  15d-15e) and internal  control
      over  financial  reporting  (as defined in Exchange Act Rules  13a-15f and
      15d-15f) for the registrant and we have:

      a)  Designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures,  or caused such
      disclosure  controls and procedures to be designed under our  supervision,
      to ensure that material information relating to the registrant,  including
      its consolidated subsidiaries,  is made known to us by others within those
      entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is
      being prepared;

      b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such
      internal  control  over  financial  reporting  to be  designed  under  our
      supervision,  to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
      financial  reporting  and the  preparation  of  financial  statements  for
      external  purposes  in  accordance  with  Generally  Accepted   Accounting
      Principals;

      c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls and
      procedures as of the end of the period  covered by this  quarterly  report
      (the  "Evaluation  Date");  and  presented  in this  quarterly  report our
      conclusions  about  the  effectiveness  of  the  disclosure  controls  and
      procedures based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation Date;

      d)  Disclosed  in this  report  any  change in the  registrant's  internal
      control over  financial  reporting  that  occurred  during our most recent
      fiscal  quarter  (first  quarter)  that  has  materially  affected,  or is
      reasonably likely to materially affect, registrant's internal control over
      financial reporting; and

5.    The registrant's other certifying  officer and I have disclosed,  based on
      our most recent  evaluation,  to the  registrant's  auditors and the audit
      committee of  registrant's  board of directors (or persons  performing the
      equivalent function);

      a) All significant  deficiencies and material  weaknesses in the design or
      operation  of  internal   control  over  financial   reporting  which  are
      reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's  ability to record,
      process, summarize and report financial information; and

      b) Any fraud,  whether or not material,  that involves management or other
      employees  who  have  a  significant  role  in the  registrant's  internal
      controls; and
