Impacts all vendors that provide telephony solutions, not just Skype. Nothing to do with Apple as some here in the comments are suggesting. China requires any software vendor that provides telephony to sell its software through a Chinese telco-licensed company. Pure VoiP is fine. The moment you offer dial-in / call me as Skype, WebEx, G2M, Zoom do, you're toast. This is China walling off their market a bit more, making it far easier for their own telcos to compete.
