The two line graphs compare four countries-Eritrea, India, the UK, and Uruguay- in terms of their fixes and mobile telephone subscriptions per hundred people from 2005 to 2015.
On the whole, mobile ownership grew across this period, especially in India and Uruguay. Conversely, in the UK and Eritrea it remained stagnant. On the other hand, fixed phone lines generally declined or remained static in all 4 sampled countries.
Turning to mobile subscriptions, India and Uruguay-both developing countries-saw an exponential rise in mobile phone subscriptions. Uruguay took off in 2005, when mobile phone subscription started from less than 50 subscriptions per hundred people and reaching an all time high in 2013 (160 subscriptions per hundred people) and settling to 150 in 2015. Similarly, India saw a rise in 2007 and plateaued in 2015 (10 subscriptions to almost 100 in 2015). The UK and Eritrea saw minimal changes in this time period, approximately remaining where they started from (100-120 in the UK and 10-20 in Eritrea).
With respect to fixed lines, the UK and India saw small declines in subscriptions ( from 59 to 51 subscriptions in the UK and from 5 to 1 subscriptions in India). Uruguay kept its 32 subscriptions throughout the decade, dipping to its lowest 29 subscriptions in 2010. However, Eritrea surprisingly saw a small bump in subscriptions in 2010, starting from 1 subscription to 3 subscriptions in 2015.
