For the record, here is a pretty solid argument against Amazon charging for the EVDO: right now Amazon sells a bunch of subscriptions to newspapers and magazines which are all EVDO-downloaded. I am sure Amazon gets a cut of those subscription charges, and a lot of those would disappear if it forced the user to pay for EVDO from Sprint or anyone else. As you point out, however, it will all come down to money and profits, and what Amazon determines to yield the most profits - free EVDO or a cut of subscription fees - will remain.
