I read the Whitepaper some further. For those interested in how this is going to launch and how to obtain your share in the TLOS tokens to be issued, see the following quote from the whitepaper:

"The Telos network will be launched by six publicly known ABPs (appointed block producers) for maximum transparency. The network is currently running as a testnet with several block producers and can be viewed at https://testnet.telosfoundation.io The Telos mainnet will launch in August at which time, TLOS owners may begin voting for block producer candidates to reach the 15% required for network activation."

The TLOS testnet seems not accessible at this moment.

Once they get this up and running, this adds to the available space for dApps in general. From a user perspective, it should not matter where their favourite website/app is running, as long as it works as intended. But I think running different apps on the same chain could increase cross -over use and payment applications in-between them.
