The calling format is bifurcated into three distinctive categories of local, national & international, and mobiles for the year range from 2001 to 2008. Overall, it is seen that the calling trend through national & international lines and mobiles is increasing while after 2005, the local calling time is gradually decreasing till the year 2008. However, Australian residents spent the highest calling time through the local category in all the eight years. In 2001, 38 billion minutes were spent on the national & international lines category, while in comparison, only 2 billion minutes were utilized in calling through mobiles. From 2001 to 2005, a gradual rise was observed in both the categories, and it rose to 50 billion minutes and 12 billion minutes respectively. However, the difference between 2002-2003 and 2003-2004 was nearly the same, where time spent was on the gradual rise for both the calling groupings. Furthermore, in the year 2006, the national & international category's minutes were noted 55 billion, and for the mobiles division 23 billion minutes. In the succeeding year, the same segment of the calling category registered a rise, and they were 60 minutes and 39 minutes, respectively, with the gradual increase in the next year 2008. For the Local category, the residents in Australia spent 72 billion minutes on the call in 2001, which gradually increased by 4% in 2002. Furthermore, the following year noted a total of 85 billion minutes spent by the individuals on the calling category's local line. For the years 2004 and 2005, the time spent on the local category calling was almost similar to 89 and 90 billion minutes, respectively. After the year 2005, the total number of minutes in billion notes in the succeeding year was decreased by 6%, reaching 84 billion minutes from 90. Also, in the year 2007, a fall of 5% was registered in the total amount of time spent at the local category making it just 72 billion minutes in 2008. The notable factor with this is that the 2008 reading for the total minutes spent came at a figure of the year 2001, whereby the minutes spent were 72. To sum up, the local calling was prominently dominant in 2001 with significantly higher minutes in billion. At the end of the phase-in 2008, the gap between all three categories came to a prominently lower ratio; still, the local time spent is moderately dominating.
