I'm more interested to see a small drone that can carry a small load, say of a couple to a few pounds. This could start to disrupt the small package/food delivery industry on a massive scale while cutting emissions and increasing service quality. We have seen plenty of small drones meant to be used for surveillance; it's not very interesting anymore.
I actually have an idea of indoor robotic drones inside fulfillment ware houses, that can automatically pick items as orders arrive (like Kiva systems, but with drones). These drones will need capability of carrying couple of pounds.
Current law doesn't allow commercial drones - meaning nothing that makes a profit or supports a business. Hobby photography is the only application that makes sense right now.
If you do your homework or even a little googling you will realize that what you are saying isn't true. Hopefully this is good news for you! I think the link below may have even been submitted to HN, though I haven't checked.
What law are you referring to? Columbian law? Swiss law? Russian law! I really have no idea, being that I am from Earth and there are so many countries. It does make this thread hard to follow, just too much guesswork.
