It is an FCC rule because cellphone tower are designed to
pick up a limited number of calls and at altitude the towers
are over-loaded.

Except, of course, that very few people have cell phones anymore (at least,

Just because you are used to calling the thingy a cell phone doesn't make it
a cell phone.
