I can use my laptop on 3G when internet is down, so it's not a problem
. Can One link to a 3G network and use <50mb of data?

The anti-consumer moves are also a little concerning -- how long will the XBONE play videogames ? 10 years? After all once those servers are shut down / Microsoft stops supporting the XBONE it will not play your games any more and in a world without backwards compatibility that is kinda scary.

I didn't realize that, and that's scary. Will XbOne work when they shut down the servers, or will that be the point where MS will tell people "Okay you're done with XbOne, now buy a new console from us. If you want those games you'll have to rebuy them digitally."
I still have dozens of unbeaten PS2 games, and a handful of unbeaten PS1/SNES games. Plus I regularly play Mario Party 2 for N64. If Sony or Nintendo said no to old games, that would ruin gaming for me....
That's like owning a movie you love, but not being allowed to watch it when it's 10 years olf because it's "obsolete." This whole thing reminds me of the planned obselence of American cars in the 70's and look what good that did to the US auto industry.
