Telecommunications in Iceland

Telecommunications in Iceland are a diversified market. Iceland has a highly developed telecommunications sector with modern infrastructure. Multiple wholesale and retail providers operate in a competitive market. As of 2024, Iceland's telecom infrastructure is fully digitised and largely fibre-based, with 93% of households having full-fibre availability. Landlines are based on VoIP technology, and mobile telecoms in Iceland adhere to the GSM standard. 2G, 3G, 4G, and 5G services are available, as well as a TETRA network for emergency communications. Iceland is connected by four submarine cables to Europe and North America. Broadcasting is based on the DVB-T2 standard for television and FM for radio. There are printed newspapers, although most mass media is consumed online. Postal service is provided under universal obligation by the state-owned Iceland Post, but other private postal companies are in operation.
