I can think of one country in the whole world (Iceland) where a company can tell the country it operates from, NO.
However in this case (an operating police officer who gave information to a group who wants to split away from the country) i make a bold assumption that even Iceland would order the company to give the data out (since it has nothing to do with protecting journalists/whistleblowers, but espionage)
Doh. I read it as "a company can tell the country it operates from, Norway."
I thought "Huh? Why would an Icelandic company operate from Norway?" Well, I thought, I suppose there must be quite a few. But why's he mentioning it here?
