A billion registrations in the Telegram. Whether so it actually?

Last week in the Telegram began to appear account with an ID higher than 1 billion.

For reference: the unique ID is the user ID issued to him at registration. In the Telegram they are intended only for internal use, for example, in the references. Each account, whether active or already removed, has its own ID. Account ID is not reused, i.e. when you create new account you will not be given an ID that was previously assigned to another user.

It is important to understand that ID is not a billion means a billion registered users, and here's why:

1. ID issued pools.
The spread of numbers dependent on the region. One day can be issued ID in the range of hundreds of millions of values observed in different countries.

2. The transition to the new pool occurs regardless of whether the previous ended or not. Therefore, each time the scatter becomes larger.

3. Bots have the same format ID, as well as the users, so some part of the billion belongs to bots.

4. Do not forget about creating database accounts to spam or cheat, which is removed after the time period of their life.

However, overcoming a lath in a billion ID in the Telegram can not but rejoice.
