The WiFi rumor is plausible because it's free for them, the LTE story is not because it would be quite expensive in multiple dimensions.

- srtjstjsj 6y agoExpensive how? Maybe not LTE, but Kindle comes with 3G cellular.
- solarkraft 6y ago- An LTE module is significantly expensive (10€?). - A carrier contract costs some money (some m2m contracts for very low bandwidth can go for around 1€/month). - It's extra design and management effort (antennas, contract management and such) - Maybe most importantly: It's rather easy to spot and people would ask uncomfortable questions.
