Dear TRAI, I am writing to express my concern against the actions that telecom carriers are taking to restrict fair access to the internet (Net Neutrality).
I believe the internet is a
vital resource - it helps me
communicate, work, and thrive as a citizen. If telecom operators can discriminate internet traffic on the basis of which services pay the most, we are allowing telcos control over a vital and necessary technological
resource.
By doing so we allow them
to define what information we can view; what entertainment we can access; and how companies can innovate.
This is completely unfair and harms India's long term role in the global market. I strongly believe the growth of telecoms and the well-being of the
internet can go hand-in-hand. I'm
asking for a framework to ensure long term and fair access for all services regardless of size. I want my generation and those that come after me to have unfettered access to the
Internet, with no telcos or ISPs
having the ability to charge for
specific services I use on top of it.
Please understand that the internet is an important resource and vital to me and to every other Indian citizen. I
would like to see it kept free and
protected under Net Neutrality to
ensure fair and equal access for all and forever.
Regards,
prasad adhe
