All we have to do is wait until a picocell fails or is inadvertently switched off mid-flight. Dozens of mobiles will all ratchet up to full power (2W) in a (probably futile) attempt to contact the nearest active cell 35,000 feet below.

What will be the result? My guess is nothing at all untoward, but I'd prefer not to be on board when it happens.
