What Exactly Does Skype Wifi Do?

I'm not really sure what exactly Skype WiFi is suppose to do! I thought it would help me get online at airports and other places during my recent overseas trip. But... since you have to first connect and be logged intro a WiFi before Skype WiFi does anything, what is the point? I've read the FAQs and I still don't understand exactly what it is suppose to do! Can somebody enlighten me? Thanks!

Skype WiFi allows you to connect to participating WiFi hotspot providers and pay using your Skype credits. I believe with the Surface Pro 2, it is free for a year and does not require you to additionally use Skype credits when connected to a Skype WiFi hotspot.
