Skype in Qatar is o.k. ?

Is Skype in Qatar allowed unlike the U.A.E. ?

Some of the services that Skype offers, like Making telephone calls, need a license from the UAE Telecommunication Regulatory Authority (TRA), according to Majid Al Masmar, Acting Director General of the TRA.

According to a report in Arabic daily Emarat Al Youm, the authority confirmed that failure to obtain a license, will subjected a user to the amended Article 71 of the Telecommunications Act.

This includes imprisonment for a period not exceeding two years and a fine of not less than Dh50,000 and not more than Dh1million.

Any thoughts ?
