That agreement is linked to from the kindle.com/support section. under the "Kindle License Agreement and Terms of Use" link. Note also the relevant paragraphs both above below the last one, which you conveniently left out, and which I've highlighted in red.

2. Wireless Connectivity
Use of Wireless Connectivity. Your Kindle uses wireless connectivity to allow you to shop for and download Digital Content from the Kindle Store. In general, we do not charge you for this use of wireless connectivity. Your Kindle may use wireless connectivity to make other services available to you for which we may charge you a fee, such as personal file download and subscriptions when you are located in another country. The fees and terms for such services are located in the Kindle Store and may change from time to time. If your Kindle functions with third party services, such as WI-FI access points, a third party may charge you fees for the use of those services.
Your Conduct. You may use the wireless connectivity provided by us only in connection with the Service. You may not use the wireless connectivity for any other purpose.
Availability. If your Kindle is located in an area in which it cannot maintain wireless connectivity, you may not be able to use some or all of the Service. We are not responsible for the unavailability of wireless connectivity for your Kindle or any corresponding loss of Service. Events beyond our reasonable control (such as changes in service or terms by wireless carriers) may impact the terms or circumstances under which we provide you wireless connectivity and may result in a change to these terms or a temporary or permanent modification or loss of wireless connectivity for your Kindle.

Translation: the experimental web browser is only for web browsing, and outside of areas where they have service agreements, they don't guarantee anything. If Rogers in Canada, or some other provider elsewhere, either jacks up the rates or else denies them service, Amazon can't guarantee connectivity for connecting to the Kindle Store, much less your tethering a laptop (already against the terms) to stream hours of YouTube video, or downloading things.
