Recreational drone operators will need a license

http://www.nbcnews.com/tech/innovation/faa-require-recreational-drone-operators-register-n447156

"The national registry will not hinder efforts to create overarching regulations, Foxx said. The registry task force will be made up of representatives from the federal government and the aviation and unmanned aircraft industries.
It will decide which drone owners are exempt from the registry and whether people who already own drones will be forced to register them.
Drone operators will be hit with 'penalties' if they fail to register their drones, Foxx said, although it's not clear what those penalties will be."

the one thing that is not mentioned is how big or technically proficient are the drones that need to be licensed?  Or are they going to even license those little 2" by 2" quadcopters?  I'm wondering...
