The Annual Meeting will be held at our offices at 587 Connecticut Avenue, Norwalk, CT 06854, at 10:00 a.m. Eastern Time on July 23, 2008.

The approximate date on which this Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy Card are first being sent or given to shareholders is June 16, 2008

VOTING

General

The securities that may be voted at the Annual Meeting consist of our common stock, with each share entitling its owner to one vote on each matter submitted to the shareholders. The record date for determining the holders of our shares who are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting is June 2, 2008. On the record date, 438,409,546 shares were outstandingand eligible o be voted at the Annual Meeting.

PROXY VOTING OPTIONS

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT!

Whether or not you expect to attend in person, we urge you to vote your shares by phone, or by signing, dating, and returning the enclosed proxy card at your earliest convenience. This will ensure the presence of a quorum at the meeting. Promptly voting your shares will save us the expense and extra work of additional solicitation. Submitting your proxy now will not prevent you from voting your stock at the meeting if you want to do so, as your vote by proxy is revocable at your option.

Voting by telephone is fast and convenient, and your vote is immediately confirmed and tabulated. Most important, by using the Internet or telephone, you help mPhase Technologies, Inc. reduce postage and proxy tabulation costs.

Or, if you prefer, you can vote by mail by returning the enclosed Vote Instruction Form in the addressed, prepaid envelope provided.

PLEASE DO NOT RETURN THE ENCLOSED PAPER BALLOT IF YOU ARE VOTING BY TELEPHONE.

Quorum and Vote Required

The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the outstanding shares of our shares is necessary to constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes shall be counted for purposes of determining a quorum, but not have the effect of votes for or against any proposal. Therefore, abstentions and broker non-votes will not affect the outcome of such matter. At a meeting where a quorum is present, with respect to Proposal I for the election of directors, nominees who receive a plurality of the votes cast will be elected to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders, and with respect to Proposal II for the ratification of appointment of Independent Accountants for the Company, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting will be required to approve such proposal and broker non-votes will be counted as an vote in the affirmative.

Brokers holding shares of record for customers generally are not entitled to vote on certain matters unless they receive voting instructions from their customers. "Broker non-votes" means the votes that could have been cast on the matter in question if the brokers had received their customers' instructions, and as to which the broker has notified us on a Proxy form in accordance with industry practice or has otherwise advised us that it lacks voting authority. However, Brokers may vote on certain "routine" matters in the Proxy Statement at the broker's discretion whey they have not received timely voting instructions from their customers.

Voting by Proxy

Shares represented by properly executed proxies received at or before the Annual Meeting that have not been revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Shares represented by properly executed proxies for which no instruction is given will be voted "FOR" approval of the proposals described in this Proxy Statement. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxies will vote upon such matters according to their judgment. Our shareholders are requested to complete, sign, date and promptly return the enclosed Proxy Card in the postage-prepaid envelope provided for this purpose to ensure that their shares are voted. A shareholder may revoke a proxy at any time before it is voted by signing and returning a later-dated proxy with respect to the same shares, by filing with our corporate secretary, a written revocation bearing a later date or by attending and voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Mere attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself revoke a proxy.

3


If the Annual Meeting is postponed or adjourned for any reason, at any subsequent reconvening of the Annual Meeting, all proxies (except for any proxies that have theretofore effectively been revoked or withdrawn) will be voted in the same manner as such proxies would have been voted at the original convening of the Annual Meeting, notwithstanding that such proxies may have been effectively voted on the same or any other matter at a previous meeting.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee oversees our financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process, including the systems of internal controls. Our committee has reviewed in accordance with recent revisions to the law pursuant to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act our Form 10-K, covering the fiscal year of the Company ending June 30, 2006.

In fulfilling our oversight responsibilities, we have discussed with our independent accountants who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the committee under generally accepted auditing standards. We also have discussed with the independent accountants their independence from management, including the matters in the written disclosures from the independent accountants required by the Independence Standards Board. We further considered whether the provision by the independent accountants of the non-audit services described elsewhere in this Proxy statement is compatible with maintaining their independence. Finally, we recommended, and the Board of Directors approved the selection Rosenberg, Rich, Baker, Berman & Company as our independent accountants for the fiscal year 2007 commencing July 1, 2006 and ending June 30, 2007.

We have also discussed with our internal auditors and independent accountants the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. We meet with the internal auditors and independent accountants, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of our internal controls, and the overall quality of financial reporting.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

As indicated above, our Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Dotoli, Biderman and Guerino. The committee determines all compensation paid or awarded to our executive officers and approves our overall compensation policies.

The committee's goals are to attract and retain an executive management team that is capable of taking full advantage of our opportunities, and to provide incentives for outstanding performance. In arriving at an initial compensation offer to an individual, the committee considers determinants of the individual's market value, including experience, education, accomplishments and reputation, as well as the level of responsibility to be assumed, in relation to the market value of such qualifications and industry standards. When determining subsequent adjustments to an individual's compensation package, the committee also evaluates the importance to stockholders of that person's continued service. This is a judgment process, exercised by the committee with the advice of our management and a compensation consultant.

The executive officers' compensation structure consists of: (i) base salary, (ii) cash bonus and (iii) stock options.

Base Salary. Each individual's base salary is determined by the committee after considering a variety of factors that make up our market value and prospective value, including the knowledge, experience and accomplishments of the individual, the individual's level of responsibility, and the typical compensation levels for individuals with similar credentials. The committee may change the salary of an individual on the basis of its judgment for any reason, including our performance or the performance of the individual, changes in responsibility, and changes in the market for executives with similar credentials. Salaries for fiscal year 2006 were set based on the above factors and after review of industry comparables.

Cash Bonus. Bonuses are awarded for accomplishments during the past year. Bonuses are determined by the committee with advice from our management, based upon the committee's assessment of the individual's contributions during the year, compared to, but not limited to, a list of individualized goals previously approved by our management and the committee.

Stock Options. Stock options are prospective incentives, aimed at keeping and motivating key people by letting them share in the value they create for stockholders. They are awarded at times deemed appropriate by the committee in amounts calculated to secure the full attention and best efforts of executives on whose future performance our success will depend.

Compliance With Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and to provide us with copies of such reports. mPhase has reviewed the report copies filed in 2006 and based also on written representations from its directors and executive officers, the Company believes that there was compliance with Section 16 (a) filing requirements for 2006.
