Loper Bright is only relevant here as the case that opened the door for the appeals court to more easily overturn the FCC. The case itself was not related to the FCC and isn't the source of any of the absurdity in this appeals court ruling.
Yes: that's what Loper Bright does. In the absence of explicit statutory language to the contrary, the FCC can no longer assert its interpretation of the spirit of a law about allowing RBOCs to once again provide local POTS phone service as a broad mandate to regulate the Internet.
