Vodafone is Looking for Ways to Jump Into the Drone Business.

[We Talk UAV]

SIM cards are going through a golden age. First mobile phones, then machines and now it’s the time for vehicles. Vodafone is studying ways to connect drones to the internet as a solution to identify, track and manage all of them in a single airspace

Vodafone is actively looking for ways to jump into the growing drone business. Why? There are thousands of units flying virtually without control, autonomous flights are knocking at the door and we lack a long term legal and operational framework. Using existing ground infrastructure to connect and manage all this traffic can make a lot of sense – and big money too.

Using existing ground infrastructure to connect and manage all this traffic can make a lot of sense – and big money too.

There would have to be airspace and routes available for recreational and hobbyists - hence a fee to use them.

Can feel em breathing down the necks of all of us - or rather panting and frothing at the thought of BIG DOLLARS like that of the cellular business.
