This
chart depicts a comparison of the usage
of telephone calls in the UK in three call type categories (local-fixed line
, national and international-fixed line
, mobile calls) from 1995 to 2002. The total time of telephone usage
is calculated in a number of minutes
(in billions).
Overall
, the usage
of the local-fixed line
had a steep rise followed by a gradual decline whereas
, the usage
of the other two types has progressive upward trends. In 1990, British call usage
was just above 70 billion
minutes
and rose until 1999 when it peaked and then
slowly declined.
However
, the national international-fixed line
was less popular than the local-fixed line
. In 1995, the national and international-fixed line
was used for less than 40 billion
minutes
but it gained popularity when heading towards 2000 when it levelled off at 60 billion
minutes
. It is evident that the time spent on mobile calls started at less than 10 billion
minutes
but it reached a five-fold increase in caller minutes
by 2002.Submitted by Nimz
