The first line graph illustrates the number of mobile phone subscriptions, while the second one indicates the number of fixed telephones. Both feature data from four countries, including Eritrea, India, the UK, and Uruguay, spanning 10 years (from 2005 to 2015).
Overall, the number of mobile phone subscriptions for all regions went through more fluctuations than that of fixed telephones. At the end of the period, Uruguay had the most mobile phone subscriptions, while the UK topped the chart for fixed telephones.
As seen from the first chart, Uruguay experienced the most prominent growth in mobile phone subscriptions, starting at just below 50 in 2005. This number climbed continuously and peaked at just above 150 in 2013 before declining slightly to 150 in 2015. The UK had the highest subscriptions at the beginning of the period (100). This number increased briefly in 2006 to about 125, then stayed relatively the same throughout the rest of the years. India and Eritrea started out the same at the bottom of the chart. Whereas the number for India began to rise fast since 2007, Eritrea didn’t have much growth.
In the second chart, the UK dominated the top with just under 60 in 2005. Although this number went down, this country still had the highest fixed telephone subscriptions during the period. Uruguay experienced a similar trend, though situated in the middle of the chart with around 32 subscriptions per hundred people. India and Eritrea started out low again and didn’t have much increase.
