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
protected by Net Neutrality Laws to ensure fair and equal access for
all and forever.

Regards,
Nana Siddharth
