You seemed rather concerned about use of bandwidth.

What if you didn't pay your bill and don't have any Internet service at all, but you have a registered Echo and your neighbor has an Echo? After all, your "service" is technically "down," right?

And what about a family trying to get along on capped Internet service (like that provided by AT&T) who all stream different services and are constantly on the edge of overcharges? Is Amazon responsible for paying those?

Fortunately I'll never have to find out, since I'll never have an Echo.
Which do you think uses more bandwidth, Amazon sidewalk, or ads?

You also seemed to be concerned about automatically opting in. Can you show me an option where I can opt-out for ads?
