Is this sentence understandable?:
The number of minutes made by local fixed line increased from 70 billion in 1985 to 85 billion in 1995 in the UK.
(Can it mean that , "The number of minutes of local fixed line calls increased from 70 billion in 1985 to 85 billion in 1995 in the UK"?)

Question

Answer

Yes, I understand the sentence. However, "local fixed lines" should be in the plural, and I think it sounds more natural to say "in the UK" right after that:

"The number of minutes made by local fixed lines in the UK increased from 70 billion in 1985 to 85 billion in 1995."
