From looking at what amazon has on the page and the linked terms, its clear that US customers, with the International version of the Kindle will be able to download books outside the US over Wispernet but will pay an additional $1.99 fee per book or Subscription.
"Travel Internationally with Kindle
Travel internationally and still get books in under 60 seconds. Download books wirelessly in over 100 countries around the world."
and
"For U.S. customers traveling abroad, a $1.99 fee currently applies when downloading books or single issues of periodicals wirelessly from your Archived Items or the Kindle store while roaming internationally."

If so, then all Kindle users having an US version wil be able to use whispernet? Still all unclear to me:::

It does look like that the Original Kindle (US Wireless) and the DX only have wispernet coverage within the US. This is probably primary due to the fact that they use Sprint (CDMA) verses AT&T (GSM) used by the International version which is compatible with more phone systems around the world.
