The bar graph provides information about how many minutes (in millions) were spent on three distinct telecommunication systems in Finland within nearly a decade since 1995.
As revealed in the report, almost all categories exhibited a positive trajectory, except for the local wired system, which declined towards the end of the period. In addition, while mobile calls showed the most significant growth, the local landline consistently remained the most widely used form of communication.
In the beginning, the local wired system was the dominant method utilized, with approximately 12 million minutes recorded. After peaking at nearly 18 million (the maximum recorded) in the early 2000s, the figure then plummeted by about 29%, ultimately returning to its initial share at 12 million, still the highest among all categories.
In other categories, the figure for national and international landline calls started at 6 million, far higher than that for mobile calls, which accounted for just below 1 million. By the end of the period, while the former saw a steady increase of 69%, the latter experienced an exponential rise, reaching approximately 9.9 million minutes and closing the gap with the other systems.
