"Partnering" is no big deal, in my eyes. What will be interesting is if any of the e-book manufacturers get the same kind of deal that Amazon got. The other manufacturers aren't going to pick up a lot of interest if their users have to pay for their networks on a monthly basis. (I realize that the Kindle network isn't "free, as in beer", but I'm sure it would be less palatable to people to have to pay per month, rather than having the network built into the cost of the device.
