Dear Sir,
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 telecommunication companies 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 telecommunication company or
Internet Service Provider(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 your faithfully,
Sourav.
