The article very specifically addresses commercial drones. Those rules, mentioned in the article, have no bearing on recreational model aviation. I strongly urge you to read the 2012 FAA Modernization Act and the FAA Interpretive Rule of section 336 of that act. I think you will better understand the FAA's new mission and the impact on recreational model aviation.
