The chart below shows the total number of minutes (in billioin) of telephone calls in the UK, divided into three catagories, from 1995-2002. Summarises the information by selection and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

The presented graph provides a comparative analysis of the total length of phone calls in the United Kingdom in three subcategories. , local, national and international, both based on fixed lines and mobiles in an eight-year-long period starting from 1995.

Overall

, the eye-catching dominance of local calls' proportion throughout these eight years is noticeable. An in-depth examination of the data reveals that local calls, regardless of their leading figure, peaked in 1999, reaching a high of 90

billion

minutes of phone calls which

then

gradually decreased to just over 70

billion

in 2002. Mobile calls,

however

, depicted a steady yet gradual rise from well under 10

billion

to approximately 45

billion

minutes which account for the least amount of calls across the studied years. Turning to the

Last

category, national and international calls exhibited a steady increase in the statistics from almost 40

billion

in 1995 to just over 60

billion

in 2002.

To sum up

, an inverse correlation between the data of local and mobile calls is visible as the growth of the latter from 1999 onwards, is accompanied by the reduction in the former data.
