I said the business, the person paying does not need an internet connection to use a contactless card. The same with Google Wallet and Apple Pay, the customer device does not need to have an active connection. Businesses will manage their connections, if they need one they will get one that works.I once tried to pay a small business by card. The owner did a sort of dance all round the room trying to get a signal from their wifi hub on the card reader and eventually gave up.I went to the ATM down the street, then paid cash.
