Thank you.You want Cable or DSL *and* a mobile 3G/4G modem. The wireless thing will be severely restricted in the the amount of data you can move through it.

You are correct. I've done some spot checks. They all come in at an ESTIMATE of under 1GB/month. The stingiest data plan locally appears to be 2GB/month.
It will be expensive if you go over the limit. Cable or DSL will have drastically higher data caps, and are more reliable generally. "Unlimited" wireless exists in theory, but it is still restricted, typically by throttling.And what is coverage like in the USA? Will you not still be "tethered" to specific locations? The places where there actually is a signal? Or is everywhere you would want it urban?
You're thinking in right direction, but my usage pattern should mitigate potential problems - there are personal rather than technological constraints.
