In the US it is the same-carriers can subsidize part or all of the hardware costs and make up the difference in the 2 year contract.
Amazon's potential disruptive advantage would be the same as the Fire approach-instead of carriers subsidizing the cost of the hardware, Amazon could (theoretically). Instead of a free phone with a two year carrier contract, how about a free phone with, say, a two year Amazon Prime contract instead?
