I was told that there will be a software posibility to turn off the 3G. And you can put in any SIM card (I assume it must be connected to a 3G subscription, but that's logical...) So, I doubt a 3G subscription is part of the base product.
I agree a included 3G subscription is not very likely. Amazon factors that cost into its books and it is intended to be used to buy books from Amazon. A generic capability would run extra and the capability is useless without a plan of some sort. You would have to be able to shut it off to save batteries, use in on an airplane, etc. Even including the hardware raises the base price of the unit so I would hope there is a model without it.
