There are so many unanswered questions in all this. As BRD often 
says, anything that crosses over multiple systems is a wicked 
problem. This is one of those.
Scale this up, for instance. Who is to say Amazon gets a monopoly on 
this sort of delivery system? What about the competitors with their 
own Drones? Delivery Drone Wars?

I wondered if all these little flying machines was going to be 
equipped with a GoPro camera with an operator watching its every 
move? I guess that's one new career for all those videogame players. 
The 'delivery drone wars' has more resonance now, doesn't it?
