Can someone spy a video call if the call is via skype or fring?

If two cell phones are in a video call using skype or fring and the connection to the internet is the actual carrier, not wifi, can someone hack and copy that communication video feed? how probable is that.  The phones are like iphone, nokia, etc.  (I understand that thru wifi is more probable, but not sure if the internet access if via the cell phone carrier)

Thanx fort the info,very informative.  However we want to make sure how probable this is.

To give you guys a bit more info regarding the connection so you can tell us how probable or easy can it be to eavesdrop or spy on a video call conversation.  

The connection between the two persons is as follows: first the units; one has a new nokia phone 5800 and uses fring to talk the skype user.  The other person uses a PC with skype to talk with the phone person (the PC has antivirus, antispyware, antimalware and zonealarm firewall).  Second the Internet service used; the nokia uses as an Internet connection from the celular carrier, not the wifi or 802.11 networks.  The PC user uses ISP wifi 802.11 wireless networks.

Being this the actual setup connection, can you give more accurate info on how probable can their conversation can it be spied on? (we don;t want to know how its done, just want to be a bit calm on how probable can it it be spied on).
