Sýn (Icelandic pronunciation: [siːn], lit. 'Vision') is a mass media company in Iceland. The company operates Vodafone Iceland, Vísir.is and several TV and radio stations, including Stöð 2, Stöð 2 Sport, Bylgjan and FM 957. It also rebroadcasts foreign television channels over its digital TV system. In 2022, it was the largest mass media company in Iceland.
History
The company was founded in 1998 as Íslandssími ([ˈistlan(t)sˌsiːmɪ], lit. 'Iceland Telephone'), becoming the first competitor to the government owned Landssíminn on the phone market. In 2002, it merged with competitor Halló-Frjáls fjarskipti under the Íslandssími name. Shortly later it bought competitor Tal and rebranded as OG fjarskipti which was shortened to Fjarskipti in 2011. In 2017, it bought most of 365 Miðlar assets leading to it rebranding as Sýn a year later.
Vodafone Iceland is an Icelandic telecommunications brand owned by Sýn. Although it uses the Vodafone brand and trademark, Vodafone Group owns no interest in the company, but rather franchises the brand and associated advertising styles. Vodafone Iceland offers mobile and fixed-line services as well as Internet services to individuals and companies. It also provides a managed multicast IPTV and pay television services over digital terrestrial television, DVB-T2.
