"It is now technically possible to pay contactless in most places, agrees the Association of Event Makers (VVEM).

That just requires a stable infrastructure. Everyone thinks it's reliable. But the moment 20,000 people are connected to a transmission tower, it's not.
Then you have to add other connections.

Temporary connections are not totally unnecessary.

Using multiple providers, possibly in conjunction with an existing landline or temporary Starlink, simply keeps the connection stable.
