ShareBy Jeffry Bartash WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Federal regulators on Thursday laid down the rules for the use of unlicensed airwaves known as "white spaces" that could make new Internet services such as 'super Wi-Fi" readily available to consumers and businesses. The Federal Communications Commission voted 5-0 to adopt a series of rules that determine how white spaces can be used and what would be off limits. White spaces refers to unused airwaves inserted between television channels to prevent interference. These airwaves are especially valuable because signals easily pass through walls and travel a longer distance than other unlicensed bands.
