Item 4.01               Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant.

On October 23, 2006, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Metro One Telecommunications, Inc. (the “Company”) approved the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP (“BDO Seidman”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, effective immediately.  BDO Seidman replaces Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte & Touche”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

Deloitte & Touche’s audit reports on the Company’s financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles, except that the report for the year ended December 31, 2005 expressed substantial doubt regarding the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.

During the two fiscal years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, and the subsequent interim periods, there were no disagreements with Deloitte & Touche on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte & Touche would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their report; and there were no reportable events as described in item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

The Company provided Deloitte & Touche with a copy of this Report on Form 8-K and requested that Deloitte & Touche furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether it agrees with the foregoing statements by the Company and, if not, stating the respects in which it does not agree.  A copy of the letter from Deloitte & Touche stating that it does agree with the foregoing statements is filed with this Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 16.1.

During the Company’s two most recent fiscal years and through the date of this Report on Form 8-K, the Company did not consult BDO Seidman 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 the Company’s financial statements, or any other matters or reportable events listed in Items 304(a)(2) of Regulation S-K.
