The fact that the connection method between the DTE and DCE happens to be wired is totally irrelevant.

Let me ask you this: is a PC with a USB-attached 802.11B adapter wirelessly connected to the network? Of course it is. Just as my laptop is wirelessly connected to the internet when I'm using my USB-attached 8703E to connect to the EVDO network.
