Gizmo5.com/opensky is a hosted solution SIP to Skype solution meaning
there's no software to install on your system. In minutes the system can be
working for your Asterisk box. This is like using Amazon's EC2 "on demand"
computing services.

Skip2PBX and other such solutions require you to install and run software -
often times on an entirely different machine. And it should be noted that
this machine needs to be quite powerful to perform all the transcoding
involved. Sometimes this makes sense in the long run but it will have higher
initial costs and setup work. It may also be more flexible.

Different solutions for different needs.
