If this is true, I predict Microsoft will backtrack because of the ensuing backlash. No every country has cheap, fast internet without bandwidth limits. I will be very angry if Windows 10 zaps my expensive & limited bandwidth with no way to turn it off. Auto updating chrome is entirely different because its just a few MBs. Let's even assume I can get fast, free internet somewhere. How would the OS determine when I'm on a bandwidth limited network and when I'm not? Windows 8 had a feature to mark certain networks as limited. But their implementation was a complete joke. It required modem manufacturers to rewrite their drivers and this surely would not happen. Windows 10 was looking great till now. I use two Windows phones and have always thought of how better their browsing experience would be if Microsoft's engineers left their Seattle castles for a few months to undeveloped places like Monrovia, Bangladesh, Ghana... If they did, they wouldn't make moronic decisions like blocking app sharing on WP. They may not know it but that singular decision effectively botched their chances of gaining high market shares in undeveloped markets. I can't count how many times I've heard, "But it can't collect apps from other phones right?" People would marvel at my phones but... Windows 10 supposedly would fix the aforementioned issue. Yet, they would benefit from living with their non-USA customers. The company is too USA-centric for the own good.
