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,
Urvi Srivastava
