I tried to connect to Skype last night and this morning and it won't connect. Is it just me or is everyone having this problem.  I then saw the article below

 

Skype and other Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services in the UAE remains banned and will be allowed only through licensed telecom operators - etisalat and du, said a top Telecommunications Regulatory Authority official, cited Gulf News. The TRA official said, there is no timeframe as to when VoIP is going to be allowed.Skype and other Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services in the UAE remains banned and will be allowed only through licensed telecom operators - etisalat and du, said a top Telecommunications Regulatory Authority official, cited Gulf News.

Does this apply to Qatar? I hope not.

I used it last night and this morning.

I had a couple of dropped calls this morning, but nothing more.
