Vodafone Iceland is an Icelandic telecommunications brand owned by mass media company Sýn. Although it carries the Vodafone brand and trademark, Vodafone Group owns no interest in the company, but rather franchises the brand and associated advertising styles. The brand was formerly known as Og Vodafone but was rebranded as Vodafone Iceland in 2006 after becoming the first official partner network to hold the Vodafone brand.[1]
Vodafone Iceland offers mobile (2G/3G/4G/5G), fixed-line services as well as ADSL, VDSL and fiber Internet services to individuals and companies. It also provides a managed multicast IPTV and pay television services over digital terrestrial television, DVB-T2.
