86 Our decision in EarthLink, Inc. v. FCC, 462 F.3d 1, forecloses this argument. There, EarthLink made a similar argument—that the inclusion of the phrase “geographic markets” in section 10 meant that the Commission could not “forbear on a nationwide basis” from separate unbundling requirements in section 271 “without considering more localized regions individually.” Id. at 8. Rejecting this argument, we focused on the language of section 10, and held that “[o]n its face, the statute imposes no particular mode of market analysis or level of geographic rigor.” Id. Rather, “the language simply contemplates that the FCC might sometimes forbear in a subset of a carrier’s markets; it is silent about how to determine when such partial relief is appropriate.” Id.

The Commission denied Verizon’s petition, finding insufficient evidence of facilities-based competition to render the provision’s application unnecessary to protect the interests of consumers under section 10(a)(2) and to satisfy section 10(a)(3)’s public-interest requirement. Id. Challenging that decision, Verizon argued that the Commission’s forbearance decision was incompatible with the text of section 251 because section 251 required the Commission to find that lack of access would “‘impair the ability of the telecommunications carrier seeking access to provide . . . service[],’” which the Commission had not done. Id. at 300 (omission and alteration in original) (quoting 47 U.S.C. § 251). We rejected this argument, explaining that “[t]he dispute before this court . . . concerns whether the
