<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">On January 17, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
of Multiband Corporation (Multiband) approved on behalf of Multiband and its subsidiaries the dismissal of their independent registered
public accounting firm, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP (&ldquo;Baker Tilly&rdquo;), and the engagement of Ernst &amp; Young, LLP
(&ldquo;EY&rdquo;) to serve as their new independent registered public accounting firm for 2012. The Board of Directors of Multiband
ratified the dismissal of Baker Tilly and the engagement of EY by the Audit Committee on January 17, 2012. The dismissal of Baker
Tilly will become effective upon completion of the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2011 and the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10K for fiscal 2011. The engagement of EY as Multiband&rsquo;s new independent
registered public accounting firm will become effective for the 2012 fiscal year. This change in auditors was made after a competitive
bidding process and evaluation.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Baker Tilly&rsquo;s reports on Multiband&rsquo;s consolidated financial
statements for each of the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2010 and December&nbsp;31, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">During the years ended December&nbsp;31, 2010 and December&nbsp;31,
2009 and the interim period between December&nbsp;31, 2010 and the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements between Multiband
and Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure
which, if not resolved to Baker Tilly&rsquo;s satisfaction, would have caused Baker Tilly to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreement in connection with its report for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item&nbsp;304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation&nbsp;S-K.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0">Multiband has provided Baker Tilly with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures. A copy of Baker Tilly&rsquo;s letter, dated January 19, 2012, stating its agreement with the above statements is attached

application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on Multiband&rsquo;s consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items

Item 4.01
Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
On January 17, 2012, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
of Multiband Corporation (Multiband) approved on behalf of Multiband and its subsidiaries the dismissal of their independent registered
public accounting firm, Baker Tilly Virchow Krause, LLP ("Baker Tilly"), and the engagement of Ernst & Young, LLP
("EY") to serve as their new independent registered public accounting firm for 2012. The Board of Directors of Multiband
ratified the dismissal of Baker Tilly and the engagement of EY by the Audit Committee on January 17, 2012. The dismissal of Baker
Tilly will become effective upon completion of the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31,
2011 and the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10K for fiscal 2011. The engagement of EY as Multiband's new independent
registered public accounting firm will become effective for the 2012 fiscal year. This change in auditors was made after a competitive
bidding process and evaluation.
Baker Tilly's reports on Multiband's consolidated financial
statements for each of the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009 did not contain an adverse opinion or
disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009 and the interim period between December 31, 2010 and the date of this Form 8-K, there were no disagreements between Multiband
and Baker Tilly on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure
which, if not resolved to Baker Tilly's satisfaction, would have caused Baker Tilly to make reference to the subject matter
of the disagreement in connection with its report for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v)
of Regulation S-K.
Multiband has provided Baker Tilly with a copy of the foregoing
disclosures. A copy of Baker Tilly's letter, dated January 19, 2012, stating its agreement with the above statements is attached
as Exhibit 16.1.
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31,
2009 and through the date of this Form 8-K, neither Multiband nor anyone acting on their behalf consulted EY with respect to the
application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that
might be rendered on Multiband's consolidated financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items
304(a)(1)(iv) and (v) of Regulation S-K.
