The days of Amazon providing free unlimited 3G data for those who throw down a little more coin for the Kindle Touch 3G and Kindle Keyboard 3G may be coming to an end. Reports have come out of users receiving messages from Amazon warning them that they're about to exceed their 50 MB monthly bandwidth allotment.
A MobileRead forum member called chamekke yesterday posted the following:

When the Kindle launched in 2007, it came with what Amazon called The Experimental Browser that allowed users to browse the web for free using the built-in 3G antenna. Later, Amazon introduced a policy that stated: "The Experimental Web Browser is currently only available for some customers outside of the United States and may be limited to 50MB of browsing over 3G per month."
Amazon has not commented on the matter, but with the Kindle being the best-selling e-reader, it makes sense to start enforcing the bandwidth limit as it's now probably getting pretty costly to give millions of users free unlimited data.
