Data plans for drones?

People buy data plans for their smartphones so they can send email, check Facebook, and more, but what about a data plan for your drone? Wireless carrier Verizon will start selling such plans, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. The plans reportedly will begin at 1 GB of data for 25 a month. Also on Thursday Verizon announced that it has been working since 2014 on the technology behind flying drones over its wireless network. This year Verizon successfully flew a 17-foot unmanned aircraft over its 4G LTE network, the company said, a technology that could be used to do things like inspect pipelines or electrical transmission lines.
