Dear Sir,
We understand that the TRAI is considering bringing in regulations relating to internet carriage services.
Sir, efforts so far to bring in either Carriage regulation or content regulation, in a space that was designed and made to be globally democratic and self regulated, have failed.The US Congress even tried to bring in the PIPA and SOPA Acts but had to withdraw these in the face of strong protests by netizens.
True, there are the trollers and misusers on the net. This community is however miniscule though it gets media coverage far in excess of what it deserves. The large majority are the sincere users of net for legitimate purposes which has contributed enormously to the free dissemination of knowledge, information and views encouraging healthy debates and varied points of view. TRAI should not in its attempt to curb the few misusers create hurdles or destroy a structure that has proven to be one of the greatest means of communication that humans have designed. Any efforts to usurp power centrally that will destroy net neutrality or put in place a Big Brother or add to net costs would be highly undesirable and we strongly protest any efforts to curb what will essentially be a violation of human rights and Fundamental Rights granted under Artcle 19(1) of the Indian Constitution.
Sir, as the Regulator of the sector we urge you to recommend to the Govt. that it should stay away from any efforts (like section 66A of the IT Act which was thrown out by the Supreme Court) to make the net less accessible or more regulated, taking away from the net therewith the built in democratic framework that exists.
We hope, like the Supreme Court, you will have the courage to say that public interest will best be served if there is no regulation on the net.
Best regards

Dear
Trai,I
understand that there is tremendous pressure on you from the
telcos to change the present laws regarding use of Internet.
Such a law from you (TRAI) would effect all internet users
like me and society at large. We the internet user do not,
repest DO NOT want TRAI to regulate OTTs or bring any
services under a license framework and we urge that TRAI
should support net neutrality and not the greedy telcos.
This will be in Public Interest and not what the TELCOS
want.
Hope
good sense prevailsSharukh
