There are various companies that currently use drones for different purpose. However, the most drones are tested by UK since US regulation has currently forbidden to do any of delivery services. First, here are companies that are using drones as delivery purpose. Google which is the one of the biggest company for drone, has created Project Wings and aiming to give service on delivery product across city by flying vehicles. Similar to Google Company, Amazon created drone called “Amazon Prime Air” earlier than Google. Amazon planned to use drones for product deliveries since 2013, drone itself weigh 55 lbs and carry up to 5lbs. According to current events in “technology review”, Amazon Prime Air first tested in UK and will eventually get the first drone deliveries. As well as in Asda’s parent company in Walmart, they have received drone licenses since last year (2015) to deliver shopping products through drones. However, since applications are made in US, it takes more time for UK customers to receive products through sky delivery. The most interesting company is 7-Eleven. Not Amazon, not Google, but 7-Eleven is going to be first home delivery by drone in United States. Tests have been made in Nevada in United States and 10,800 stores in North America could deliver if tests goes on right way. As result, customers would be able to enjoy Slurpee, sandwich, donuts and coffees at home.

On the other hand, there are few companies that are using drone for other purposes. One of multinational telecommunications corporation AT&T also uses drones to inspect cell towers in order to improve LTE coverage. They have been testing drones for long period to improve network. Not only the AT&T is the one using drones for deliver internet access. Both Facebook and Google are testing to increase internet coverage that has lack of network infrastructure. Lastly, Devon and Cornwall police in UK uses drones fitted with HD cameras to find missing people/monitor accidents and crime scene. Since there is limit to chase the suspects in a high speed in road, during busy traffic situation, flying drones could easily tail drive by thieves. Also it would save lives as well as police costs and time.
