Does this mean that:
1) They've replaced the cellular datalink with an irridium satphone to give global coverage.
2) Are spending gigagbucks on new land based cell towers and terrabucks to cover building and deploying a network of floating cell towers across the ocean.
3) Are somehow going to prevent you from attempting to using it anywhere a connection to their servers isn't available.
4) In addition to at least one of 1-3, are going to either ban non amazon content or host all nonamazon content on their servers for user access?
5) Are lieing through their teeth?
The Kindle has always been considered an American only product and they are talking about content purchased from the Amazon store not user-content.
