If Telegram finds a way to open source their backend, then that could be a way for new chat apps to compete against Line, WeChat, KakaoTalk, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Viber and so on. The security issues of Telegram would need to be sorted out first off course. Both Telegram and WhatsApp uses phone numbers to identify users, so they could probably let users talk to each other, if they wanted to.
