and "Rein in big tech" probably isn't in the FCC's wheelhouse and probably also 
shouldn't be done.

Well, Carr is the actual author of the FCC portion of Project 25, so he's 
pretty much written what he would intend to do. According to the commentary 
printed in Newsweek ( 
https://www.newsweek.com/brendan-carr-trump-fcc-pick-project-2025-chapter-1987413
 ), he would have 4 main priorities: 


    1. Rein in big tech 
    2. Promote National Security 
    3. Unleash economic prosperity 
    4. Ensure FCC accountability and good governence 

So there is little to nothing in the bullet points that mention the little guy. 
I would expect he would ignore the little guy. 
The national security part is a non-specific reference to killing Tiktok. 
The economic prosperity is a direct boost to Starlink (and is mentioned by name 
in Project 25). 
The accountability part indicates that he wants more transparency, and I think 
that is a good thing.
