The line chart illustrates the number of fixed line and mobile telephone users per 100 citizens in Africa over the nine-year period from 1995 to 2004.
Overall, it is clear that there was a rise in the number of both communication devices mentioned in the graph. Moreover, the telephone market in Africa witnessed a substantial rocket in mobile subscribers.
Initially, after splitting the period into two stages of time: from 1994 to 1999 and from 1999 to 2004, it is obvious that over the first five-year period, both types of consumers slightly went up approximately one unit for each. Even more, at this stage of time, fixed users seemed to be the dominant over the two fields.
Nevertheless, for the next five years, while fixed buyers continually increased minimally about 0.05 for each next period, the mobile market soared swiftly and reached the highest point of 8.8 at the end of the period. This remarked the new domination of mobile over the fixed market and its number of users could over double compared to the number of fixed subscribers.
