I wonder why Canadians are getting the shaft? It's available in the Japan App Store ...

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.

Cool, thanks for the clarification!

Skype said it's a legal/licensing issue:

I actually think it may have to do with Canadian enhanced 911 requirements for VOIP phones which skype doesn't meet.

If skype is on macs in Canada, why not an iPhone?

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.

You can also get other apps in the same way - Amazon mobile, for instance.
