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,
