Average annual expenditure on cell phone, national and international fixed-line services, 2001-2010.

Average annual expenditure on cell phone, national and international fixed-line services, 2001-2010. 2lW8w

The given graph compares consumers' average per year spending on mobile phones, national and international landline phones in America from 2001 to 2010. Overall, while the yearly spending on mobile phones increased significantly, the opposite was true for national landline phone expenditure. Also, the figure for international fix-line service was the lowest during the given period. In 2001, there was an average of nearly $700 spent on national landline phones by US residents, compared with only around $200 on cell phone and international landline services. Over the next 5 years, the average amount of money poured into national fix-line phones fell by $200. By contrast, yearly spending on cell phones witnesses a significant increase of about $300. At the same time, the figure for overseas landline services fluctuated slightly below $300. in 2006, the average of an American spent the same amount of money on national landline phones and cell phones, with just over $500 on each. From the year 2006 onwards, the spending on mobile phones surpassed that to become the most popular means of communication. To be specific, yearly expenditure on mobile phones went up to nearly $750 in the last year, while the figure for national cell phones dropped to $400 at the end of the period. During the same period, there was a stability in the figure for overseas phone calls.
