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.
