Could drones be the future of courier and transportation business?

From CNN Tech Innovation | June 4, 2013

A computer mock-up of a more advanced Matternet quadrocopter delivering an aid package -- one of the potential applications of the project.

What lies ahead for the drones, now that military drone strikes, especially those that kill civilians would be considered illegal? (war crimes?)

Some alternatives would be to use them for journalism as in U of Nebraska, where they are made as cheap alternatives for covering disaster:  forest fires, train wrecks, aftermath of typhoon, etc.

Now it would seem here in this CNN article/post, that drones could be effective means of courier service and transportation in far flung, no accesss to transportation areas/

What do you think
