| Summary: | Abstract Iceland is a prime example of a country suffering from the diseconomies of small scale. Its telecommunications are constrained by the country’s basic realities: Its rugged terrain is sparsely populated by only a quarter of a million people; its remote geographic location requires advanced international communications; and it Jacks an electronics industry. It is difficult even to imagine competitive telecommunications in Iceland. Yet by the same logic of scale, the integration of parts of Icelandic telecommunications with the larger systems of its frequent Nordic partners would be conceivable. |
