How do you expect them to serve you ads? They have to get to your phone _somehow_ so there will always be network overhead. This just feels like an attempt to justify using applications while removing their revenue stream based on impossible requirements.

If the app is polling the ad network API on startup and at a fixed interval, it can keep the radio awake for longer than it would otherwise, or wake it up and keep it in a high power state for the duration of the CELL_DCH timer. It's not an impossible requirement to queue ads, reduce the frequency of polling, and coalesce the ad network API calls with other app network traffic.
