I don't believe the problem here is with the aviation regulation regime, the hobby quadcopters (I hate the terminology drone because a drone can be anything remote controlled and we are actually talking about quad-,octo-copters here. Also, future quadcopters may not be remote controlled. So, talking about drones here is not really appropriate) aren't advanced enough yet to cope with any regulations that may be put in place and have the required safeguards.
What about first demonstrate the quadcopters can and may respect any regulation and it can be enforced? From this point, the aviation regulation body will be more open to not restrict the usage up to a point it is confined to specific and delimited geographic areas.
