It seems regulation in this area is inevitable. Similar to how AT&T was regulated because of the natural monopoly of phone cables to all homes (it doesn't make sense for each phone company to have it's own cable going to every home).
The air doesn't have infinite capacity. What happens when Google, Microsoft, Walmart, Target, etc. all try to operate their own drone fleets? At a minimum, there must be a common protocol to coordinate all this drone air traffic. Or maybe it's better to recognize it as a natural monopoly and only allow one regulated drone fleet.
