I am not sure if fring is using the H264 or other protocol but they did manage to do it.
Fring I believe is using a custom streaming solution on their own servers to get around the issue.

It woud be nice ot have video calling from Skype but the question is whether they consider it a profitable investment of time to do this. I believe that it is a closed source module so Skype themselves would need to sort this one.
