Unlimited range is the thing that makes this important (sexy for the average consumer).

On the receiving end, it means you will never be able to know who's watching you.

Your only defense against unwanted surveillance (by whomever) would then be to shoot the drone down.

(EDIT: So if the team is smart, it will sell to both sides and launch a kickstarter for a drone-detection-and-defense system.)
