DroneDeploy puts drones on the internet

This is one of the coolest startups that I have seen in a while. There are so many applications for their service.

Hi HN,

I'm a founder of the company, and happy to take any questions.

Awesome stuff you guys are doing!

Aren't there legal restrictions on flying UAVs for commercial use right now?

It's perfectly legal to fly drones for commercial use in many countries around the world - the US is still very grey as to what is and isn't allowed.

Greg McNeal (http://www.forbes.com/sites/gregorymcneal/) has many fantastic articles about the issues.

You sort of have to see it to believe it. The technology is super impressive; a lot of interesting technical challenges to overcome especially when working over 4G networks.
