So you'll have to produce a documented list of apps that demonstrate the behaviour you're talking about (sustained internet access while backgrounded), otherwise we will have to take the documented behaviour of iOS at face value.

My NHL Gamecentre app gives me real time notifications even if I have not opened it in weeks.
LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Scrabble, Gamecenter all do notifications in the background.
They all pull/push data from the Internet.
