Short-term licence of audiovisual media service provider

A licence from the Media Commission is required for the provision by a media service provider subject to the jurisdiction of the Icelandic state of audiovisual services which require the allocation of a transmission frequency by the Electronic Communications Office of Iceland (ECOI), unless otherwise provided by law.

The Media Commission may issue a temporary licence to a media service provider to provide audiovisual media services, either a general licence for up to seven years at a time, or a short-term licence for a maximum of three months. Licences are either nation-wide licences or local ones, i.e. restricted to specific regions.

Please note that the application form is only available in Icelandic. Applications can also be submitted via email to postur@fjolmidlanefnd.is.
