I'm no expert, but I'm sure there are data shuffling procedures. For
example, when does one cell hand off to another? I think it's a matter
of a crushing number of cells being requested (due to wider range with
higher altitude) in areas where they aren't expecting it. I'd guess they
could sort it out, but with an absurd amount of processing and hogging
of resources.

But who am I to spread rumours? Anybody have hard facts?
