I guess they have several more years to introduce something. About the business model and monetization, the Telegram FAQ [1] has long stated this:

>Q: How are you going to make money out of this? > We believe in fast and secure messaging that is also 100% free.

> Pavel Durov, who shares our vision, supplied Telegram with a generous donation through his Digital Fortress fund, so we have quite enough money for the time being. If Telegram runs out, we'll invite our users to donate and add non-essential paid options to break even. But making profits will never be a goal for Telegram.
