The line graph shows the number of people who used different services to communicate in the world. Overall, cellular service started the period on almost the same number with other figures but overtook all figures at the end with a significant increase, while internet service also grew in the number of users over the period. It is also clear that other figures such as mobile broadband, fixed broadband, and landline service experienced slight changes.
In 1998, the number of internet service users was at around 5 million, while for landline service it was noticeably higher at approximately 15 million. During the period both figures followed an increasing figure, while landline service users were 20 million before decreasing just to 15 million at the end of the period, however, the number of people who used the internet service marginally increased from 2004 and reached a peak of 20 million.
Furthermore, figures for fixed and mobile broadband showed less changes compared to other community services, while until 2004 both figures had zero users, after 2004 figures started to rise and finished the period at a similar number around 5 million.
In contrast, the figure who showed the most significant increase was cellular phone service. In the beginning, it had around 5 million users, while year by year it continued to rise consistently and in the final year, the number of people who used that service were 60 million
