They wouldn't be "at the mercy of AT&T". The previous poster means that a GSM-enabled device, provided it operates on all 4 main GSM frequencies (as most modern phones do) can be used world-wide. In each country, however, one would require an agreement for data traffic with a local telecoms operator; the difficulty in doing this is almost certainly what is delaying the international launch of the Kindle.
