The given chart compares that the duration of telephone calls made by different lines in the UK between 1995 and 2002.
Overall, it is clear that local-fixed line was the most common call type, whereas mobiles(all calls) were the least used in this nation. However, national and international-fixed line experienced a upward trend, but the figure for local-fixed line rose rapidly and then fell back the end of the period.
In 1995, local fixed line was used to make calls during more than 70 billion minutes, doubling the figure for national and international-fixed line. At that time, mobile phone was the lowest of all the categories, with under 5 billion minutes.
From that year to 1990, the local-fixed line has been used frequently, its figure reaching 90 billion minutes, but four years after that, it had fallen slightly to the initial point. In contrast, the national and international-fixed line calls displayed a similar upward trend, it was about 75 billion minutes by 2002, and the calls made from mobiles increase significantly 45 billion minutes by the end of the period.
