So the USB Wireless modem is (sic?) cheaper...

I doubt that it really is: beware of hidden costs...

Wasn't that what he did say?

Not really: I was doubting the assumption that the USB Wireless modem itself is actually cheaper that a "normal" GSM module:

I said:
... beware that the "USB HSDPA Modem" probably only has a low purchase price [to a consumer] because it is tied to an airtime deal - and the airtime provider will recover the cost from you in fees and charges!

I thoroughly agree that there are also additional costs to integrate the USB device - as Joe described.

It's just another (possible) hidden cost.
