  • The project has been a success and at present close to 100.000 homes out of around 140.000 in Iceland have the option to connect to Míla’s fiber
  • The market position of Míla in this important infrastructure market is strong
  • At the beginning of 2021 Míla made an important strategical step when the company invested in IP/MPLS system and mobile RAN from Síminn
  • Míla now has bank financing that is independent from the parent company Síminn
  • The changes give Míla great opportunity to play a key role in the development of the Icelandic telco market
  • The role of infrastructure companies such as Míla is changing
  • The investment bank Lazard and Íslandsbanki have been hired to assist with deciding future options and strategy for Míla based on global development in the structure of telecoms
  • Options regarding future ownership will be considered as a part of the project
  • The goal will be to maximize the value for shareholders and to ensure that future development of the group's infrastructure will serve Icelanders well in the future
  • It is not clear at this moment what result this project will lead to, but more information will be provided on its progress as soon as there is reason to do so
