The line graph illustrates the mean annual expenditure on three different
phone services from 2001 to 2010. Units are measured in dollars.

Overall, cell-phone expenditures increased over the period given, while


services for fixed lines declined steadily. At the start of the period, national

had more expenditure.

With regards to cell phones, it began at 200 dollars and then constantly rose,
becoming the most dominant form of communication in 2006 and peaking at
about 750 dollars in 2010. Moreover, approximately $280 was spent on
international services in the first year, after which the figure increased to
about $300 in 2004, and stayed relatively stable.

In contrast, fixed-line services started in 2001 at $700. This figure then


dropped gradually until it reached $400 in 2010, indicating a shift towards
