The OP may want to understand what they are referring to first, before going off on a rant about loss of service. Amazon Echo is a device for streaming music, so I doubt that is what they were referring to.
More likely they were talking about a service from Brightstar (an ISP) called "Echo". That allows customers to share a businesses internet account. Just like any of the other campground/coffee shop/etc. wifi providors we have seen everywhere.
There is no reference by Brightstar to a model that requires the customer to pay. Only the business pays as part of the package they buy for interent service. And "subscribing" by the customer is just basic signup so they can regulate who has access and who doesn't.
The above doesn't mean there isn't a way to charge customers, but it seems unlikely. I would get more specifics from the campground before jumping to conclusions.
