India switched to 100% electronic voting. People accept technology faster than you might assume.
Also since it doesn't have the Visa/Mastercard rent seekiny duopoly and dysfunctional ACH system. It can actually have smoother transition to a UPI based payment system. [1]

- ufmace 10y agoThat's interesting to read. Don't get me wrong, though, I'm not doubting the willingness of the individual end users to accept and get used to it. I'm wondering more about the support infrastructure. Like, do they have reliable enough data nationwide for this? Do they have enough techs and spare parts and such to keep their data networks running around the nation 24/7? Do they have enough people to fix or replace the devices that break? That sort of thing.
