Uh...  Skype is indeed VOIP, but it is not interoperable with Asterisk
(or anything else) since it uses its own proprietary encrypted protocol
instead of SIP.

Skype is good if you like the idea of eBay being able to track who you
talk to, listen in on your conversations, and control your computer.
Asterisk (and a suitable SIP client such as Ekiga) is good if you like
open standards and vendor independence.
