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
Nishidh Singhal
Indian citizen wanting for fair treatment.
