Seems  some changes are in the works, here is a small excerpt from seattle local radio broadcast,

maybe we can fly legal for profit soon ..this is all it said though.

Currently, the FAA restricts drone use primarily to segregated blocks of military airspace, border patrols and about 300 public agencies and their private partners. Those public agencies are mainly restricted to flying small unmanned aircraft at low altitudes away from airports and urban centers.

Within nine months of the bill's passage, the FAA is required to submit a plan on how to safely provide drones with expanded access.
