Its intresting to see how Amazon is doing an endrun around having to negotiate individual wireless cuntries in every county by having their US wireless carrier (AT&T) do it for them.
Its a smart move as it give them more time and leverage when negoating location specific contracts for localized versions in the future.
Looking at the terms of service, when you specify which country you are going to be using in, it becomes more interesting.
They say that wireless will be free in your home country, but will be charged a $1.99 fee when traveling. While this is great, what this got me thinking about was whether or not they will allow you to change you Home country afterwords.
If so, then it would really be interesting, as if then if you relocate, all you'll have to do would be to register your new address and payment details and get free wireless delivery. That could prove to be real game changer, especially for people who move pretty reguary, who would be ideal candidates for a reader like this.
