Dear Sir/Madam,


We want an open internet, an internet which isn't controlled by any corporations. The internet was designed to exchange packets between two machines, regardless what is there in the packet. That was the basic idea of internet. Now, the telecom companies want to look inside the packet and charge us accordingly. Isn't that a breach of privacy? They are able to see what we are doing on the phone and charging us based on usage habits? 

Apart from that, the internet is a tool for empowerment. Lakhs of people use the internet to learn new things. Imagine if the costs go up? Will the poor be able to afford? 

Kindly consider everything & don't let the corporations win this battle. 


You can kindly refer to the Net Neutrality law passed in Netherlands as a model. It is in complete interest of the consumer.
