Akureyri - Husavik - Tokyo!

With the improved telecommunications and computer systems of today, businesses in north-east Iceland have extended their operations to distant parts of the country e.g. to the capital of Iceland and even to other countries.

Northeast Iceland is a constituent part of a fibre optic network that encircles the whole country. At present three out of every four Icelanders own computers and over 75% of the population from 15 to 75 years old have access to the Internet either at home, work or schools, which is considered a world record. Computer skills are also prevalent and hence it is immaterial whether the operation is situated in Akureyri, Husavik or Tokyo.
