So, while you are not playing, your cities will continue to operate both in your multiplayer regions and your solo regions. The Maxis servers will perform the operations needed to keep the simulation of the cities running. Also the cloud save thing, being able to move from computer to computer seamlessly, is cool.
Always on-line is for DRM no matter how they sugar coat it.

Yes, for the multiplayer and the cloud you need online, but there is no good reason for online only solo play other than DRM.
