The two charts are both line charts depicting the number of mobile and fixed telephone subscriptions, reported per hundred people during a 10-year period, between 2005 and 2015. Each chart portrays data from four countries: Eritrea, India, the UK, and Uruguay.
In the first chart, which refers to mobile phone subscriptions, is clearly visible the difference between Eritrea, with below 10 subscriptions per hundred people throughout the time period, and India, which reached above 150 subscriptions per hundred people in 2013. The UK also maintains quite a steady rate around what seems to be 120 mobile phone subscriptions per hundred people. In Uruguay is noticeable a rise in subscription numbers between 2011 and 2015.
When it comes to fixed telephone subscriptions, the numbers tell a different story. While in Eritrea the evolution in the number of this type of subscription looks more or less the same as in the mobile phone case, in the UK a drop is clearly visible starting from 2009. In India, not many people are beneficiaries of fixed line subscriptions, with below 10 subscriptions per hundred people from 2005 to 2015. In Uruguay, we also see a constant number of subscriptions, just above 30 per hundred people.
In conclusion, mobile phone subscriptions are much more widely used by the population, while fixed telephone subscriptions have lost their popularity. Of course, in the case of Eritrea, we can put the low numbers on the economic state of the country.
