Re: Notice of Debarment
File No. EB-12-IH-0400
Dear Ms. Harper:
The Federal Communications Commission (Commission) hereby notifies you that, 
pursuant to Section 54.8 of its rules, you are prohibited from participating in the schools and 
libraries universal service support mechanism (E-Rate program) for three years from either 
the date of your receipt of this Notice of Debarment, or of its publication in the Federal 
Register, whichever is earlier in time (Debarment Date).1
On March 22, 2012, the Commission’s Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) sent you a Notice 
of Suspension and Initiation of Debarment Proceeding (Notice of Suspension)2 that was 
published in the Federal Register on April 23, 2012.3 The Notice of Suspension suspended 
you from participating in activities associated with or relating to the E-Rate program.  It also 
described the basis for initiating debarment proceedings against you, the applicable 
debarment procedures, and the effect of debarment.
As discussed in the Notice of Suspension, in June 2011 you pled guilty to conspiring 
with others to fraudulently obtain $4.5 million in E-Rate contracts through your companies, 
  
1 47 C.F.R. § 54.8(g).  See also 47 C.F.R. § 0.111 (delegating authority to the Enforcement Bureau to resolve 
universal service suspension and debarment proceedings).

Computer Training and Associates and Global Networking Technologies.4 In addition, you 
admitted to bribing school officials in exchange for control of the E-Rate application and 
competitive bidding process.5 Your fraudulent scheme adversely affected 20 schools and 
school districts located throughout six states.6 Pursuant to Section 54.8(c) of the 
Commission’s rules, your conviction of criminal conduct in connection with the E-Rate 
program is the basis for this debarment.7
In accordance with the Commission’s debarment rules, you were required to file with 
the Commission any opposition to your suspension or its scope, or to your proposed 
debarment or its scope, no later than 30 calendar days from either the date of your receipt of 
the Notice of Suspension or of its publication in the Federal Register, whichever date 
occurred first.8 The Commission did not receive any such opposition.
For the foregoing reasons, you are debarred from participating in the E-Rate program 
for three years from the Debarment Date.9 During this period, you are excluded from 
participating in any activities associated with or related to the E-Rate program, including the
receipt of funds or discounted services through the E-Rate program, or consulting with, 
assisting, or advising applicants or service providers regarding the E-Rate program.10
Sincerely,
