Sýn hf Overview

Pro stress-test →

Sýn is a telecommunications and mass media company in Iceland that operates a telecommunications division including 4G/5G services, the online newspaper Vísir.is, and several television stations including Sýn (TV channel) and radio stations Bylgjan and FM 957. In 2022, it was the largest mass media company in Iceland.

Strategic Profile

Pro stress-test →

The company ceased using the Vodafone Iceland brand in June 2025, and at this time all of its services and brands were unified under the Sýn brand. Sýn operates the DVB digital transmission system by contract until 2028.

Competitive Landscape

Pro stress-test →

Sýn competes primarily with Síminn hf, Iceland's other major telecommunications provider, in mobile, fixed-line, and internet services. Both firms compete in broadcasting with RÚV (the Icelandic public broadcaster) for audience share in TV and radio. The market is duopolistic with limited international competition due to Iceland's geographic isolation and small population.
