The possible origin causing the "always on" rumor might have been leaked to be the plans for the Next Xbox to feature tv services similar to Google TV. This feature would also support the next version of Kinect for added functionality.

Sources close to Microsoft have revealed to The Verge that the new console will have TV functionality close to Google TV.

Apparently, connecting the console to a cable connection will allow users to use an overlay to access programs from content providers but will require an online connection to access TV signals. Could this be where the "always on" rumors have come from concerning the next Xbox? There's also proposed Kinect support to tie in with the media functionality.
