Dear TRAI,
Allowing service providers to be gate keepers of services is a threat to
our consumer rights as internet service providers can censor certain
services and prefer certain other services.
Making communications cheaper is a advancement in technology and the
benefits should reach the people and artificial hiking for additional
profits should not be done. As people who use these services already pay
for the the internet service.
Also having the service providers inspect each packet to identify
services is a violation of privacy and will be misused.
There is already legislation in countries like Chile and Netherlands
which ensures Net Neutrality.
From Netherlands net neutrality law,
"Providers of public electronic communication networks used to provide
Internet access services as well as providers of Internet access
services will not hinder or slow down services or applications on the
Internet".
India should stand up for net neutrality and TRAI has a responsibility
to stand with the people of India.
I hope TRAI will stand up for rights of the people over extra profits to
a few companies.
Thanks
Praveen
