I was talking to rcentros, she seemed concerned about data usage, and ads I bdlieve, will use a lot more data than sidewalk.

Ads show up in your browser because you went to a website that loaded them. When you go to a website, you are requesting their content. That content may include text, images, scripting, ads, spyware and a whole bunch of other stuff. But the point is - YOU went to that website and requested a page load. YOU initiated things.

That is not what Amazon Sidewalk is doing. They are initiating the bandwidth theft all on their own. Therein lies the difference ... and the problem.

Ok, then by that logic, it is a problem for existing owners, but not for future owners; if you are a future owner, YOU will have purchased the device and purchased the functionality.
