I would agree the logistics of doing it globally are much greater unless they opt for a model that is no longer free. Another option would be to use the carriers as distributors for the device. Ultimately I would like to see wifi and mobile wireless technology as part of a device and I expect it will happen over time. Another option is to put in bluetooth and then you could just network with whatever cell phone you have.
I never really thought much about the wireless aspects of an ereader, but the push of newspapers and the ability to quickly look up some piece of information while reading is a really nice feature. It will be interesting to see which way the market goes. Right now we have the bulk of the devices sitting in the basic category with the Kindle and the iLiad going higher end, but in different ways.
