#WR: Do you remember in 2013, when Jeff Bezos predicted the package delivery by drones? Now, the F.A.A. gave the approval to the Amazon's project. The testing of the delivery to the doors of customers is coming. New #Amazon's milestone!  @WSJ says first steps will be slow. #drones

#WR: Drones delivering packages!  @WSJ wrote “Amazon has now joined United Parcel Service and Wing, a unit of Google parent Alphabet In. in gaining approval to operate unmanned air fleets in the #US for test involving customer deliveries. #Amazon #Alphabet #UPS #drones #delivering
 
 According to @WSJ, the Amazon’s plan presented to F.A.A. includes a broader range of drones and a larger geographic area than its competitors.  
 
 
Wing, the unit of Alphabet, has been conducting tests in partnership with Walgreens and FedEx Corp. Other company with similar ambition is Uber Technologies.
