Ready for service Q3 2021, dark fiber and shared capacity/spectrum will be among the products offered = a range of opportunities for new establishments in the region. In combination with Euroconnect1 from Altibox, the 2 cable systems connect the dots in Ireland, UK, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, and Sweden directly to Norway.”
