It would be extremely useful to have a method in the Bot API to broadcast a message to all its active users at once.
Currently, a developer would need to implement a special broadcasting function that will send the message to each active user at the time adding a small delay to avoid hitting the rate limit of 30 messages per second (see https://core.telegram.org/bots/faq#how-can-i-message-all-of-my-bot-39s-subscribers-at-once). This would mean that a very popular bot with say 10K active users cannot give timely notification as the last user would get the message about 5 minutes after the first user.
