I don't own a Kindle, but I understand people's ire.

If Amazon starts charging more for something people feel they've already paid for, then yes, anger is justified.
Changing the fine print - not a way to win the hearts and minds of your customers. Except SirBruce's, of course.

My understanding is that all Amazon has
ever said they would keep "free" is downloading of books bought at the Kindle store, and certain specific services, like Wiki searches. Everything else has always been "up for review".
3G traffic costs real money, and they someone has to pay for it. It's a little unreasonable to expect a Kindle to be an "unlimited traffic" internet connection for free
