You're all over this thread posting this same thing but you admitted that to you, "trivial" means substantial reverse engineering.

  "Trivial" to me means looking up the FCC ID of the device and seeing what kinds of RF emissions it is supposed to radiate. Or, still trivial (but more expensive): Point a spectrum analyzer at it and see what kinds of RF emissions it actually radiates. I don't need to open the box to understand what kinds of noises it makes.

    Or even just realize that if the devices had this capability these companies couldn't resist using it to show you ads. Since these devices don't show up to date ads unless you manually connect them to a network you can be reasonably sure that they don't have a fallback internet connection.
