So why would ANY operator in a developing country give their customers skype so that the customers can circumvent their own products? I must be missing something.

If it's purely handset based, then I think FNB connect's app is better... Even though its charged per call, its not application dependent, i.e. the recipient doesn't need to have any special software loaded on his handset at all...
