The graph below shows US consumers' average annual expenditures on cell phone and residential phone services between 2001 and 2010. Write a report for a university, lecturer describing the information shown below. O7rN

The given line graph compares the yearly expenses on mobile phone services in contrast to landline services of people in the US over a decade year from 2001 to 2010. Overall, there has been a sharp increase in the money spent for cell phone services whereas residential phone services have seen a steady decline in the states up until 2010. According to the Consumer Expenditure Survey by the US bureau of labor Statistics, the average yealy spending on mobile phone bills was lower than $200 dollars at the start of the decade. As the years passed, the expenditure on cell phone started increasing rapidly and consequently passing over bills paid for telephone bills during 2006 to reach an intersection at $550. By the end of the decade, the annual spending had risen up to nearly $800. In contrast to the climbing cell phone charges, the telephone bill at home saw a decrease by about 2 times to reach about $350. The initial average expenditure on residential phone services was about $700, which was drastically higher from the payment made on cell phone bills. Conversely, the expenses on cell phone services was two times higher than residential telephone services by 2010.
