VoIP services like Skype, Net2Phone and Vonage are banned in the UAE

Forbidden_skype UAE telecoms sector: A 'Du-opoly'?
CPI Financial - Dubai,United Arab Emirates
This means use of VoIP services like Skype, Net2Phone and Vonage are banned in the UAE. "

Different culture, different rules.

Turn it around. Imagine that UAE instead Estonia had invented Skype. Would Ebay have bought this invention (would they have been allowed to) and if not would the US (protected by the echelon network) have allowed the Skype (from the Arabs this time) on their territory. I think not.

Now think about why the Skype and QQ (Tencent) traffic is monitored in China. To return the favor; is QQ monitored in the US or Europe ?
