BBC News reports that US authorities have said they are considering allowing the film and television industries to use drones. The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) said there could be "tangible economic benefits", but cautioned safety hazards must be "mitigated". Seven aerial video and photography firms have petitioned the FAA for exemptions to the agency's current ban on commercial drone use. The FAA did not set a deadline for determining the exemptions. Businesses have been pushing hard for permission to use drones, which are much less expensive to run than manned aircraft.
There is also the issue of privacy with lots of drones around. In India there is a pizza company that apparently delivers pizza to the customer via drones.
