Telecommunications in Greenland

Telecommunications in Greenland include radio, television, fixed and mobile telephones, and the Internet.

Privately owned transmitters were created to receive TV from Canada, Iceland, and mainland Denmark.

It was possible to receive TV from Canada with a normal household TV antenna, but color transmissions were NTSC and signals were in very bad quality and however in some circumstances, television transmissions were not available at all due to factors such as weather conditions or time of day, even for the people who owned private transmitters.

Administered as an independent public corporation by the Greenlandic government, KNR has a seven-person board and management committee.

[5] An umbrella organization in Greenland, known as the STTK, operates local radio and TV stations throughout the country.

There are adequate domestic and international telephone services, provided by cables and microwave radio relay.

Authorities continue to employ an Internet filter designed to block child pornography.
