The linked articles above seem to be a better breakdown of the actual implications of this bill. The other thing I don't see being discussed is that the ban would only *prevent the drones from connecting to US communication infrastructure*. Maybe someone can correct me on this, but it seems the only impact of that would be simply to prevent the devices from connecting to the internet, The drone and its controller only need to communicate with *each other* in order to function.
If the drones were banned from connecting to any US communication infrastructure (presumably that would mean just the internet), the only impact would be that the geofencing and altitude restrictions would be disabled - meaning pilots would have to be fully responsible for operating lawfully without any assistance or restrictions from the current automated systems. If that is true, then your operations would be completely unaffected and would in some cases become easier (no more grounding glitches when you have a valid LAANC approval or waiver in effect, for instance). The only change in your workflow would be that firmware updates and video/photo file transfers would have to be done entirely via the SD card. I could see the removal of the automated compliance functions raising the ire of the FAA.
