Dear TRAI.
I read the White Paper on Net Neutrality on your Website.
After evaluating the reasoning, I am writing to express my concern against the actions that Telecom Carriers are taking to restrict fair access to Internet (Net Neutrality).
I believe that Internet is a vital resource - it helps me communicate, work, and thrive as an Indian Citizen.
If Telecom Operators can discriminate Internet traffic based on which Services pay most, we are allowing Telcos control over a vital and necessary technological resource, which is not owned by them.
And 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 unfair, and harms India's long term role globally. I strongly believe that growth of Telecoms and the well-being of Internet can go hand-in-hand.
I'm ask 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 ability to charge for specific Services that I use on top of it.
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 a fair and equal access for all and forever.
Regards.
Shailendra Singh
