Visit Business Insider's homepage for more storiesWASHINGTON - The Federal Communications Commission voted unanimously on Thursday to adopt new rules to open a new chunk of spectrum for WiFi use as the number of devices is expected to rapidly increase.

The commission is also exploring whether low-power devices can use the band like "accessibility technology for Americans with disabilities, virtual reality gaming, augmented reality glasses, in-vehicle systems, and other emerging technologies," FCC Chairman Ajit Pai said. AT&T Inc said that "the FCC's order will allow the introduction of devices that can impair, or even knock out, links in the networks that monitor our electric grid, enable first responders to communicate and provide mobile broadband services to millions of Americans, particularly in rural areas."
