Exhibit 99.1

For Immediate Release

         eLEC Communications Signs Agreements to Divest CLEC Operations
                  and Authorizes Name Change to Pervasip Corp.

       Company to Focus Exclusively on Delivery of Integrated IP Services

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., December 18, 2006 - eLEC Communications  Corp.  (OTCBB:ELEC)
announced that it has entered into  definitive  purchase  agreements to sell its
two Competitive Local Exchange Carriers ("CLECs"),  New Rochelle Telephone Corp.
and Telecarrier Services, Inc. The planned sales of the CLECs, which are subject
to the receipt of required  regulatory  approvals and other closing  conditions,
are another step in the  Company's  previously  announced  change of strategy to
focus exclusively on the delivery of integrated Internet protocol (IP) services.
In conjunction with the Company's IP focus, the Company's board of directors has
approved a name change of the Company to Pervasip Corp.

In lieu of a cash  purchase  price,  the buyer is assuming  agreed upon negative
working capital  balances of the CLECs and will retire $1.3 million in debt that
the Company owes to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. The Company anticipates the closing
will take place in March 2007.

"We look forward to completing our transition to an IP services company.  In the
IP world, we are a carrier's  carrier,  and we have been attracting  significant
new wholesale customers,  such as Allegiance  Communications,  that we announced
last week," said Paul Riss,  the Company's CEO. "Our new name reflects our total
focus on IP, which is unquestionably  emerging as the universal network platform
for voice, data and video services.  We believe our VoIP technology is second to
none in the industry, and we are seeing increasing growth of our private-labeled
broadband phone services through our 50-plus reselling  partners.  Additionally,
we believe our low customer  acquisition cost makes the long-term economic model
of our business very  compelling.  We look forward to focusing all of our energy
and resources on becoming a leader in this space."

The Company will be "doing business" under the name Pervasip until the corporate
name  change is  approved by a vote of the  shareholders  on March 8, 2007.  The
Company's  stock  symbol  will  remain  "ELEC"  until the name  change  has been
completed.
