In detail, the number of minutes of local – fixed line started at the number of 70 billion. It steadily increased to hit the peak at 90 billion in 1999 before dropping each year to the same starting number at the end of the period.
On the other hand, both figures for national and international – fixed line and mobiles saw improved year by year, with national and international – fixed line going up faster. Its usage increased each year by 2 – 5 billion and reached 60 billion in 2002 from the initial figure of 38 billion. As regards mobiles, minutes spent on it was about 3 billion in 1995 and increased slightly. Until 1999, its figure experienced a boost, rising from well under 10 billion by three times in the final year.
