The country, not the company. I don't think Norwegian got 4G cell towers strapped to their airplanes

You'll be lucky if they have seats.

So you get cell reception if you fly over Norway‽ That sounds unlikely to be true. Maybe it can happen occasionally like anywhere in the world but I highly doubt it happens often.

A private 5G network on a plane seems more likely but wifi is obviously more reasonable (Which I think all Norwegian planes have by default)
