Dear Chairman (TRAI),

I am writing to express my concern against the actions telecom carriers are taking to restrict fair access to the internet (i.e. Net Neutrality). As a thriving and growing nation, the internet is a vital resource - it helps me communicate, work, and thrive as a citizen. If telecom operators are allowed to discriminate the flow of internet traffic solely on the basis of which services pay the most, we are allowing telecoms control over a vital and necessary technological resource. We allow them to define what information we can view; what entertainment we can access; and what companies can innovate. This is completely unfair and harms India's long term role as major player in the global market.

Please understand that the internet is an important resource and vital to me. I would like to see it protected under Net Neutrality to ensure fair and equal access for myself and all.

It is often understood that the ISP and major Carriers are not getting enough money to upgrade and maintain the infrastructure due to equal treatment of data but in my understanding the basic premise of growth is equal opportunity for anyone to develop new ideas, system and innovate. This is what will help India in the long run even though it may seem unprofitable.

I will openly support any initiative in this direction to promote equal treatment of all the data as it is something which will help India to growth and prosper.

Regards,

Sunny Kumar
