From the

HSDPA modem (3G) with a fallback to EDGE/GPRS; utilises Amazon Whispernet to provide wireless coverage via Vodafone's 3G high-speed data network in the UK and partner networks outside of the UK.

So it looks like you are lucky, and amazon already has a local carrier - instead of roaming via AT&T USA. Too sad Amazon still has no provider in Germany, at least not that I know of. They are about to start a Kindle Office here, but really from scratch - publishers already rely on ePub, ADE and Sony and the like - it will be hard to talk them in to Kindle Publishing.
As of today, I really don't see a chance for Amazon to start a German Kindlestore soon
