Does Xbox One require an always on connection?

[James Falconer]

Might be a silly question but as someone that has many consoles and may be looking to pick up an Xbox... does it require the connection always be active? Or can I shut the box down and updates will resume when I power up again?

Nope.

Yes, which is what I do with mine.
