On November 29, 2012, the Federal Communications Commission issued a debarment notice for William Lanham. In March 2012, Lanham was convicted on one count of theft of federal funds and three counts of mail fraud stemming from his involvement as an E-rate consultant for the New York City Board of Education, resulting in the Board “being fraudulently billed more than $3.6 million…of which [Lanham] profited approximately $1.7 million.”
Stakeholders can view individuals and corporations who have been suspended or debarred from participating in the E-rate program here.
