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,
Ramraj.S
