Absolutely zero because it’s a tiny stream to Amazon’s servers and not sharing of internet

- Spivak 5y agoYeah, the argument against this is that they’re using your bandwidth without asking. Pretty much everything else doesn’t hold much water.
- toyg 5y agoIt's an obvious slippery slope. Once the network is established, they will likely start offering something like "Amazon Mesh" where Prime subscribers enjoy "additional free WiFi coverage all over the world", because it's just a no-brainer. They might cap speeds as a fraction of what the device enjoys (e.g. 20% max), as to not "disturb" the owner, but that's it. This has already been done by ISPs in several countries, Amazon is not breaking any ground here.
- peteretep 5y ago> This has already been done by ISPs in several countries Nah, that’s not even a little bit the same. With the ISP versions they’re using _their_ bandwidth, not yours and they own every part of the user sign-on (making them, not you, responsible for abuse).
