Dear TRAI,

I appreciate the efforts that you have made to reach out to the Indian masses to express their views on the recent actions that telecom carriers are taking to restrict fair access to the internet (Net Neutrality).  In this age of information,  we can hardly exist without the internet. All forms of communication and information dissipation, storage, retrieval and collection is made very convenient by using the Internet. The desire of telecom operators by unjustified control of 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 going to portray a very wrong image of India's in the global market. I strongly believe the growth of telecoms and the well-being of the internet can go hand-in-hand. It is upto the telecom operators to innovate in this age of rapid technological growth. No common man should be made to compensate for the lack of innovation of telcos. 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. Free Internet can help to educate millions of Indians who have limited access to a classroom. This is essentially an unnecessary,  undesirable,  highly reproachable and completely undemocratic move, if I may say so. Being a proud member of the largest democracy, it is our duty to rightly keep it so. I would like to see it kept free and protected under Net Neutrality to ensure fair and equal access for all and forever. With the hope that you will consider the views of the millions of Indians who wish to preserve net neutrality,

Regards
Sukanya Nath
