Right, internet is a bottleneck in the case of BTC.
A few, less than perfect, alternatives:
- Blockstream satellite
- Mesh networks
- Ham radio
- SMS using services such as Machankura
For big transactions the Internet will be there in one way or another. Fur smaller transactions lightning may or may not work. Accounting systems would come into play for trust issues and then settlement when the chain is available.
