I doubt it would be a monthly fee. Most people, from what I can tell, don't use the internet connectivity that much aside from the services that Amazon has promised will always remain free: retrieving purchased content, store browsing and Wikipedia. Having to pay an extra $5-$10 for something they don't use would be a deal breaker for a lot of people just on principle. It would certainly dissuade a lot of potential customers. I think it more likely that it will be metered usage, maybe a set allowance of free time (above the promised free services) and then pay per mb after that. That would allow them to target customers that are using their network for things that don't profit them without penalizing the rest of us that are making them money. With a large institution like a university, they may even come up with a special deal.
