The USB fee is *only* if you want to use the USB logo.  Otherwise, there is
no fee. I suspect the price is based on the functionality of the device (2
serial ports plus a soundcard plus a rigblaster equivalent all in a very
small box), the time/cost to develop it, coupled with the expected small
market.
