internet - Has skype been blocked?

Wonders Isaac Mao, and indeed getting access is not easy. Strange problems showed up earlier and my conclusion now is that Skype itself is limiting access to its international site in China, to get more traffic to its local partner Tom. So, indeed not the internet nanny, but commercial interests I would say.
That has a problem, also when I look at the way for example Yahoo deals with its Chinese edition. It makes it possible to disable all kind of functions for the Chinese users, that are in place in other countries. For that reasion I use the British edition of Yahoo and not the Chinese one. Guess I will do the same with Skype.
