The normal registration fee is $5, but in an effort to encourage as many people as possible to register quickly, the FAA is waiving this fee for the first 30 days (from Dec. 21, 2015 to Jan 20, 2016).
That's hardly going to provide revenue...
It always starts with a whisper. it will require manpower and labor to maintain a database. how can the faa do this w/out cost? qualifications/certification to operate a drone would be one topic of discussion in the near future.
personally, i think it is a good start to maintain traceability of ownerships. drones are currently being used commercially for remote sensing, surveys, to name a few. these commercial drones have already been registered with the faa.
i certainly do not want any rogue operators to use drones for terroristic acts. at least the database will provide traceability to aid in any investigations.
