While it does require wireless and to be on the same network as your pc, content, and your phone/pc/laptop etc it doesn't use internet for local content.

BUT

If you are using apps such as netflix and iplayer through the chromecast, it will obviously use the internet.

It also does automatically update, so there will be usage from time to time due to this.
