At 30,000ft, I don't think there's much of a chance that the cell is
going to reach the 200ft cell tower.  Maybe during landing/takeoff but
at that point, you aren't moving through too many cell towers to cause
much a problem.  I heard about the pico cell proposition.  They use
them in hong kong and tokyo in the sky scrapers that are so tall you no
longer get reception from the ground towers.    However, I don't
beleive they'll ever make it to market for airplanes.  Right now, many
long distance flights have(or are in the midst of
purchasing/installing) in-flight wifi.  Soon the equipment cost will be
low enough for the national flights.  Skype anyone?
