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.
Allowing telecom operators to charge differential prices sends the chilling message that internet providers control internet based innovation, which will only mean that India will stagnate as the rest of the world moves towards digital innovation.
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.
