Technology moves so fast, that the only way to stay relevant tomorrow is to get ahead today.
The commercial drones space is projected to become a multi-billion dollar industry over the next ten years. Business Insider Intelligence published a report in January, 2014 that predicts there will be $98.2 billion in total cumulative drone spending over the next 10 years, with$11.8 billion of that spending falling into in the commercial space.
Between now and 2024, there is (if you will excuse the pun) a lot of ground to cover. The issues surrounding the relationship of drones to personal privacy/security become more complicated by the day and the FAA is going to have their hands full trying to decide who owns the air.
Until the dust settles, the commercial drones industry is the new wild west of technology; there is a lot of money to be made, unclaimed territory to be mapped, and there are hardly any rules.
DRONELIFE is here to make sure you, the consumer, are up to date on all the latest drone news, product releases, YouTube videos and legal precedents so you can stay informed about the rise of the commercial drone.
We are new to the drone space and we know there is a lot of ground to cover! While we have a lot of new content to roll out in the coming weeks, we would love to hear from you if we have missed a key issue or a cool new company. Drop us an email at editor@dronelife.com or come introduce yourself at the sUSB expo next month. Happy Flying!
