Skype said it's a legal/licensing issue:
There is a vague restriction in one of the standards-based technology licences and Skype is looking into it.

The issue is not related to Apple, nor is it specific to Skype.

JB has nothing to do with your itunes account...

I have Jailbreaked my phone and while it adds more options for applications it will not give you access to skype.. people have posted solutions that work very well.
