While Home Depot and its 1,974 stores is preparing to roll out a contactless payment infrastructure, another major electronics retailer, Best Buy, may be abandoning the technology, according to Storefront Backtalk’s online newsletter.

Home Depot is expected to start distributing in about a month more than 20,000 Ingenico contactless readers to its 2,200 stores with full deployment expected to be complete by the end of the year.
