Telegram will be able to offer a more attractive app with the owners&nbsp; getting benefit from it themselves. This incoming revenue will act a safety net for Telegram\u2019s continued existence and a stepping stone towards being able to provide more, better, and safer features to its users and, overall, a better user experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Telegram is \u201ca\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Freeware\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">freeware<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cross-platform_software\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cross-platform<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cloud_computing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">cloud<\/a>-based\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Instant_messaging\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">instant messaging<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Videotelephony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">video calling<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Voice_over_IP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">VoIP<\/a> service\u201d (Wikipedia). It is particularly popular in the ex-Soviet Union countries and Iran but its popularity as a medium for private messaging and sharing information and news is picking up globally, thus providing an endless potential market for Durov and his buddies.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To clarify, Telegram\u2019s existing services will remain free of charge to regular users and ad-free but Telegram is targeting business or power users who commonly use large public one-to-many channels with&nbsp;\u201cadditional expressive features&#8221;, as Durov put it, or a special (or no) price for usage by traffic size, thus monetizing the app and saving their company.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The messaging app, Telegram, has wised up to the fact that money can be made from providing services.
