gee_totes,

Delivery in what you describe as "the first world" can only happen when FAA and Air Space regulations change. Currently this is not the case and the Obama administration has proposed to open up the air space for commercial applications in 2014.

The regulations are only the first, there is also ITAR which prevents you from selling drones in the first place.

I agree that there will be much better application in cities. It is all part of building a roadless world and this is what we are doing at ARIA.

As for "imaginary farmers", I am glad you see different applications of the network. Since ARIA is focused on building infrastructure and NOT final applications, I think you should pursue such application.

We believe we are at the dawn of a roadless economy. An open backbone that can handle traffic control and prevent high-speed collisions of tiny UAVs is needed.
