They WON'T even try. The reason why they can provide free 3G on e-ink Kindles is that pretty much a good chunk of users don't use it constantly. They use it to download books and catch up on the news, but that's about it. You may have as little as 100 people using it any given hour.
Being that the Kindle Fire is a consumption device, you'd have 1,000 people using On Demand every single minute, 1,000 more browsing through sites like Flickr and taking advantage of the full sized images, and then 1,000 people using it to download/seed torrents. It would be unstable, unusable, and not a good move for Amazon and their customers.
