The bar graph provides data on the amount of time spent making phone calls in Finland between 1995 and 2004. The information is expressed in number of minutes (in millions) involving three devices namely local landline, national and international landline, and mobiles.
Overall, the longest time spent on telephone calls recorded were made using local landline which displayed a rising pattern before it declined to just below its initial figure at the end of the survey. While both National and International landline and Mobile calls reported the same upward trend, the latter remained the least used device.
In 1995, time allotted for telephone calls in Finland with the use of local landline was cited at 12, 000 minutes (in millions) which was twice higher than the number of calls from National and International landline. It continued a steady climb and reached its peak in the 20th century, adding around 5000 more minutes in 2001 to its starting point. After a year, its number slightly receded and further moved downwards in 2004 to marginally lower than its former record.
As for conversations through national and international landline, time spent was three times greater than mobile phones. Its number gradually went up reaching half of the figure reported for local landline calls in 2001 at 8, 000 minutes (in millions) and further decreasing its gap with the latter with 2, 000 more minutes added to its final count.
While use of mobile phones was the least popular in 1995, its figure jumped fourfold only after two years and maintained its leap reaching nearly 8, 000 minutes, which was half of the figure of nationwide and worldwide calls in 2000. Three years later, the time for mobile calls doubled and even narrowed the difference with the other two devices, nevertheless it still stayed on the tail of the others a year later.
