Subject: Net Neutrality is a Must for India !!!

Dear Sir,

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.

I dont think that regulation may deter telecoms from expanding access and speeds, because the loss of revenue is myth created by telecom companies. The number of messages being sent out on whatsapp are due to net neutrality. If they change this and start charging separately for Whatsap, the messages will come down drastically. Hence please dont go by what Telecom companies are saying.

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.

As responsible citizen of this country who voted for this Government, i dont want to see it curtailing some basic necessity like Internet.

Yes to Net Neutrality !!!!
