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 andfair 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 Lakshman kumar
