If people aren't careful they might get one heck of a big bill via the provider AT&T. (The Amazon FAQ on their support page states the provider will be AT&T.)
To put it in perspective: AT&T averages 9.12 mbps download rates on 4G LTE. which converts to 68.4 megabytes per minute. It's not that people will go through their data in the first day; they'll already be well past it in the first five minutes.

4G LTE will not be practical for anyone until they start increasing data allowances.
