                          Spectrum Will Change Name to
                                 Siti-Sites.com;
                         Announces Additional Investment
  
     PURCHASE,  NY December 17, 1998. Spectrum  Information  Technologies,  Inc.
(OTC BB: SITI)  reported  today that it intends to change its corporate  name to
Siti-Sites.com,  Inc. as it changes its direction to Internet marketing.  Formal
approval for the name change will be obtained in the next few months, as holders
of two-thirds of the Company's common stock have indicated prior approval.
  
     Lawrence M. Powers, Spectrum's newly appointed Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer,  stated,  "Siti-Sites.com  is an appropriate  name for our new strategy
focusing  on  Internet  marketing."  Mr.  Powers  became  the  Company's  CEO in
connection  with a  $700,000  total  equity  investment  which he led with a 70%
participation.  In an announcement earlier this week, Spectrum named a new Board
of Directors and two new corporate officers,  and stated that the new management
team is currently considering several marketing projects.  Mr. Powers said today
that,  "Siti-Sites.com  plans to  develop a  business  structure  that  utilizes
database and direct marketing technologies, applying them to Internet businesses
to drive revenues."
  
     The Company also  announced  that Robert  Ingenito had become a participant
with Mr. Powers,  investing $100,000 in the Company, and has joined its Board of
Directors.  The Company sold to Mr. Ingenito  500,000 shares of common stock and
an option  pursuant to which he may purchase an  additional  300,000  shares for
$0.15 per share,  a then  participation  equivalent to a new  director-investor,
Reese Schonfeld, described in the earlier announcement.
  
     Mr. Powers stated, "Bob Ingenito is also a successful entrepreneur.  We are
fortunate to have him invest in the Company and join our Board."
  
     Mr. Ingenito has for over 25 years been a key figure in developing the list
industry  and direct  marketing  business,  using  databases  and  programs  for
Intranet  and  Internet  applications.  He founded  several  companies  in these
fields, and he was president and a director of Acxiom Corp. (NYSE:  ACXM), now a
$700 million database company, at its inception in the 1980s as CCX Network. Mr.
Ingenito  now owns and manages  Access  Communications  Systems,  a  specialized
transactional mail company, and Access Direct Systems, a high volume direct-mail
company, with total revenues over $35 million. Mr. Powers was also a CCX Network
director  when Mr.  Ingenito was  president,  and has been a  consultant  in its
initial public offering.
