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 telecom companies 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 telecom companies 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,
Keshava Prasad
