In overall, it can be seen that the number of minutes in three categories were steadily upwards, except local-fixed line which dropped moderately after getting peak at 1994.

The upcoming trend of national and international-fixed line started from around 37 billion in 1995, and it climbed until 60 billion in 2001, then it had a modest increase again into 62 billion at the end of 2002. Similar to this figure, category of mobile-line was continuing increase from just around 3 billion in 1990 to 45 billion in 2002.

After starting around 72 billion in 1995, it continued to increase until getting a peak at 90 billion in 1995, and started to go down until comeback to approximately 72 billion at 2002. It was mostly twice from national and international-fixed line, and seven times higher than mobile call between 1995 and 1999. On the other hand, it appeared different trend starting from 1999 to 2002 when two difference categories came closer until it make around 10 and 30 billion difference, respectively, for local-fixed line and mobile-line.
