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) for the registrant and we have:





a) Designed
      such
      disclosure controls and procedures 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
      annual report is being prepared;




b) Evaluated
      the
      effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the
      end of the period covered by this annual report, (the "Evaluation Date"); and
      presented in this annual report our conclusions about the effectiveness of
      the
      disclosure controls and procedures based on our evaluation as of the Evaluation
      Date;




c) Disclosed
      in
      this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial
      reporting that occurred during our most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s
      fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially
      affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the 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 in the design or operation of internal
      control which could adversely affect the registrant’s ability to
      record, process, summarize and report financial data; and have identified for
      the registrant's auditors any material weaknesses in internal controls;
      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.
