From the bar charts, we can see the changes in the ownership of mobile phones as a percentage of all telephones owned in Europe, USA and Asia respectively between 1993 and 1998 and a forecast about percentages in the year of 2003.

During the five years between 1993 and 1998, there was an increase in mobile telephone ownership in proportion to all the telephone users in the three areas. In Europe, 4% of the telephone owners were mobile phone subscribers in 1993. The percentage rose to 14% in 1998. In the USA, the percentage was 8% in 1993, the highest among the three areas. It increased to 18% in 1998. In Asia, there was a threefold increase from 2% in 1993 to 8% in 1998.

It is forecasted that the upturn trend will continue in the following five year. In 2003, 18% of the telephone owners in Europe are estimated to be mobile phone users, compared to around 35% in USA and 28% in Asia.

Also obvious from the diagram is that Asia is the most rapid. In 1993, the percentage was only 2%, the lowest among the three areas while in 2003, it is likely to be 28%, almost 10% higher than that of Europe, the lowest among three areas. 2.
