"While this proposed rule does not propose any changes to requirements related to beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS) operations, the FAA intends for the rule to be dynamic to account for future changes related to line of sight operations. The FAA specifically notes that this rulemaking requires UAS without remote identification equipment to always be operated within line of sight."

Yep. Pretty clear the walls are closing in on non-RemoteID LOS ops. First drive them all to FRIAs, then FRIAs go away over time, and pretty soon if it flies, it has to have RemoteID.
