About Nkom

The Norwegian Communications Authority (Nkom) is an executive supervisory and administrative authority for services within postal and electronic communication in Norway.
Market regulation

Nkom analyses different markets within electronic communications, designates undertakings having significant market power, and imposes suitable obligations for such undertakings. EFTA Surveillance Authority (ESA) has made a recommendation that identifies which markets are susceptible for sector-specific regulation. Nkom uses this as a basis for market analyses. The numbering follows ESA’s recommendation of 2016, with the exception of Market 15, which refers to ESA’s first recommendation of 2004.
Duty to register

As a provider of public electronic networks or services, you have a duty to register your activities with Nkom.

Numbering resources

Nkom is responsible for the management of several national numbering plans, such as telephone numbers, Mobile Network Codes (MNC), International Signalling Point Codes (ISPC) and Object Identifiers (OID).
Frequency licences

Frequencies may not be used in Norway without a licence granted by Nkom or the Ministry of Digitalisation and Public Governance (DFD). Here is information about various types of frequency licences and how to apply for them. Nkom manages Norwegian frequency resources. When frequencies are granted, the efficient use of society’s resources through sustainable competition, free movement of services and harmonised use of frequencies must be taken into consideration.
Satellite

A satellite is an object orbiting another object, such as the Earth. Satellite systems are used, among other things, for TV and ground observations by collecting information about the Earth's surface or atmosphere using instruments on the satellites. Satellites are also used for satellite navigation such as GPS and Galileo, and for satellite communication, including VSAT.
Trusted list under Regulation (EU) No 910/2014

EU Member States have, according to eIDAS Regulation (Article 22), the obligation to establish, maintain and publish trusted lists of qualified trust service providers and the qualified trust services provided by them.
