Amazon giving away your phone will be free and no contract with the operator

Clearly, Amazon is one of the big players in this digital revolution we are living, the great online store that has the world and every day invents a new leg to bring their content to pay: ebook, tablets and now smartphones.

Well, according to the WSJ points from anonymous sources within the company, Amazon might be working on a new mobile device, smartphone, which would be released free of charge, free and without having a contract (data?) with a mobile phone operator.
This, you might well seem unbelievable or out of a science fiction story is, as such, the same philosophy that led to the stores with the first Kindle reader.
 
If you remember, at that time the ebook from Amazon enjoyed a flat rate 3G data did not pay the buyer of the device, which was limited to connect to the Kindle Store, buy the book you want and download it without any extra cost. Well, the same strategy is what they are planning for your new mobile phone but seeing how the market has evolved we crave something really impossible.
The way to make money on the phone have to do with a contract with Amazon, Kindle subscription sort Premium by which the mobile user would pay the owner of the phone and not the operator that gives network coverage. And in this case would be Amazon which would both services: hardware and network (third), so it works.
 
Why Amazon would be taking so long to have your mobile Kindle? For the same sources report that many mobile component manufacturers have agreements with Google to offer its services only to companies that launch Android devices approved '100% 'by the Mountain View, and would be denied or, at least, putting very difficult to provide these parts. And is that as you know, found in the Kindle Fire OS HD, for example, any trace of Google and its applications (including store) is an impossible task, making these tablets and future smartphones almost an operating system Android outside.
