Consumer and Merchant Services To Enhance
BigYellow
Online Shopping Directory

Dec. 13, 1999

MIDDLETON, Mass. -- BigYellow®, one of the nation's leading online
Yellow Pages shopping services, with the help of InfoSpace.com,
(NASDAQ: INSP), a leading provider of infrastructure services for
consumers, merchants and wireless devices, has re-launched its popular
Find People service.

Bell Atlantic has selected InfoSpace.com to provide its advanced
consumer and local information technology to create a more enhanced,
residential listings database complete with online shopping capabilities.

BigYellow's Find People service has doubled its listings to 200 million
people, strengthened its search capability and integrated a local shopping
feature. Now, BigYellow users can find nearly every publicly listed name,
address and phone number in the United States and those of residents in
Canada, United Kingdom, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany,
Italy, Luxembourg, and Spain. More countries will be added soon.

Even if users don't know exactly what community the person they are
looking for lives in, BigYellow's Find People service now searches nearby
cities and towns. Once users find the person they are looking for, they are
provided with a map of the community, the local weather, and even a list
of community events and concerts. Users of the Find People service also
are provided with local Yellow Pages listings and information for
businesses such as airports, car rentals, department stores, hotels, movie
theaters, restaurants and taxis.

"The addition of these services to BigYellow will enable us to
provide our customers with more targeted, local information and more
online shopping opportunities," said Michael Souder, vice president,
Bell Atlantic Electronic Commerce Services. "InfoSpace.com
provides us with comprehensive services to help advance our leadership
role in the online shopping directory industry."

"This agreement is a prime example of InfoSpace.com's ability to
offer advanced consumer and merchant services to an industry leader like
Bell Atlantic," said Naveen Jain, chairman and CEO of
InfoSpace.com."
