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.

As for my data cap concern that basically ended in about the first couple pages of this thread when I found out there was a cap. Have I brought it up since? Nope.
