Yes, but there would still be the matter of the service agreement. The hardware isn't cheap. My understanding is the deployment model the carriers are looking at would involve a monthly fee to be able to either radically discount it or provide it for free. (They love monthly fees.) Since Whispernet users don't have a direct billing relationship with Sprint and the goal is to keep the connectivity cheap enough to roll into the price of your books, it's hard to see how this would fit in. I don't think most people would want to pay a monthly fee for Kindle connectivity in their house where they most likely do have other internet access.
