I think Adam got it quite wrong!
They don't claim to have broken the encryption, they claim to have broken the protocol. That means they have reverse engineered the software and are now able to write their own software that is compatible with Skype. Think of Miranda, Gaim or Trillian using the ICQ protocol without being the ICQ messenger.
This chinese company has now announced to offer application code for licence. That means basically anyone could make Skype-compatible software. There is of course the problem that the reverse engineered stuff is illegal in a lot of countries, but at least the possibilites are given. And, knowing the internet, we can safely assume that such software will be written anyways.
To sum it up, I think we can expect some changes around Skype.
