The provided bar graph delineates the total number of minutes (in billions) that UK residents spoke on three categories of telephones during the period between 1995 and 2002.
Overall, there was no massive hike in the minutes spent on local fixed and national and international fixed line calls, but mobile calls shot up over the given time bracket.
At a fleeting glance, we can see that throughout the given period, local fixed line calls were the most popular. In 1995, local fixed lines were used to make telephone calls for over 72 billion minutes whereas the duration of national and international fixed line calls was about half about with 37 billion minutes. Over the next years, the talk time of local fixed line calls increased and reached its highest value of 90 billion minutes in 1999. Afterwards, it started falling gradually. Even so, the total minutes of local calls in 2002 became the same as they were in 1995. National and international fixed line calls also escalated over the years but at a slower pace. While in 1995, national and international fixed line calls worth 37 billion minutes were made, this figure reached 60 billion minutes in 2002. Mobile phones accounted for the highest growth in talk time over the years.
