I think this could be quite the surprise for some bandwidth-limited contracts (which are still a big thing outside of SF / the US). And it is a bit funny to see how they clearly bent over backwards in their announcement e-mail to wrestle with the wording until they'd managed to come up with some form of why the force-opted-in user may possibly need or want this. Just when we'd started to tell people (who already had very little trust) that Amazon isn't always listening, they do that sort of thing and just take co-ownership of the uplink and share it with others. I get the concept of a virtual interface, but that is beside the point. It also allows Amazon (I'd think) to map out your neighbours, who may not be as interested in sharing location details, as you and your IP are.
