                  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  quarterly  report  on Form  10-Q  of  Multiband
Corporation;

      2. Based on my  knowledge,  this  quarterly  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 financial  statements,  and other financial
information  included in this quarterly  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 quarterly 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  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 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 in the design or operation of internal
            controls 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; and
