Important news for TON was published today on Bloomberg

Apple is preparing to allow alternative app stores for iPhone and iPad in the European Union at the end of next year.
This means that applications can be installed not only from the App Store.

The issue with the payment system of the store has not yet been resolved. Under European law, other app stores are allowed to use alternative payment systems (without Apple's 30% fee), but Apple has resisted for now and is looking for ways to keep it.

Why is this important for TON and Telegram?
The fact is that Apple is trying to take 30% of all transactions within applications on its platform. Including cryptocurrencies. For example, a company recently rejected an update to the Coinbase Wallet app because they want to get a 30% gas fee to send NFTs inside their wallet.

So the problems with the SEC were not the only ones that plagued Telegram and its TON blockchain.
The main idea of TON was to be integrated into the messenger; the creation of many services inside that require millions of transactions and, ultimately, the capitalization of the Telegram ecosystem (as is the case with addresses and anonymous accounts).

But Apple would put its paw on all this, and Google would not stand aside.

30% commission is what would destroy all the advantages of TON inside Telegram.

Now we have this law from the EU, and Pavel Durov, let me remind you, recently became a citizen of France and is already a fan for its team at the World Cup.

And where the EU is, there is, in general, the CIS (primarily Russia), Iran and other Asia.

That is, one of the two TON weights that hung on his legs has almost been removed.

This can be associated with such an activation of Pavel Durov in working with TON.
