I thought NFC is required in WP8? No?

  I don’t think it was announced whether NFC is a requirement or not. What was announced is that WP8 will natively support NFC.�
  My guess is that those devices that doesn’t have NFC might not have features like tap+share or NFC payments enabled. The Wallet hub will probably still be there to manage your cards, payments and deals, just that you won’t be able to pay using NFC. But this is purely my guess.
