What are the regulations for such a transmitter? Over the USA is one
thing, FCC has rules for that, but above international waters and
other countries it's a different game, particularly since there's no
operator aboard. The website says the transmitter will be turned off
over the UK.

It's considered an unmanned aircraft and subject to those rules. If
it's registered in some country, it's subject to that country's rules
even if in international airspace. If it's not registered anywhere,
it's fair game to be shot down as target practice by Air Defence
aircraft.
