Net Neutrality

Respected Officials,

People all around India have been concerned with Net Neutrality and for some time now, The recent FCC ruling which has been adopted on February 26, 2015 is a good example of how this issue should be dealt with, in case you are not aware of the ruling here are some of the key points,

No Blocking: broadband providers may not block access to legal content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
No Throttling: broadband providers may not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices.
No Paid Prioritization: broadband providers may not favor some lawful Internet traffic over other lawful traffic in exchange for consideration of any kind—in other words, no "fast lanes." This rule also bans ISPs from prioritizing content and services of their affiliates.

You will face disagreement from major telecommunication companies, but just because the Major Teleco's are losing money doesn't mean that they get to walk over Net Neutrality. The Netherlands were one of the first countries in the world to enact laws on Net Neutrality, I have provided an overview of these laws below,

Article 7.4a of the Telecommunications Act prohibits the hindrance or slowing down of services or applications on the Internet by ISPs and network owners. Deviation from this rule is only allowed:

to reduce congestion, while treating similar traffic equally;
to preserve the integrity and security of the network and service of the provider or the equipment of the end-user;

If the breach of integrity or security is caused by the equipment of the end-user, the provider has to notify the end-user first and give them sufficient time to rectify the situation.

to block the transmission of unwanted communications (e.g. spam) to an end-user, only if the end-user has given consent beforehand; or
to comply with the law or a warrant.

Also, it is prohibited for ISPs to charge end-users differently for the use of different types of Internet services or applications. Finally, future executive orders[disambiguation needed] can institute minimum quality requirements to prevent the deterioration, hindrance, or slowing down of network communications

Any rulings in favor of Anti-Net Neutrality are Anti-People and Pro-Corporations. The governments responsibility is to the people of the nation , not to these Big Corporations, a nation is built by it's people, not by big corporations.

Also Airtel has already broken Net Neutrality with its service Airtel Zero, Airtel Zero allows companies to pay huge sums of money to get free access to Customers, this is a bad sign and is against Net Neutrality, so I request you to take a stand with the people and not let this happen.

Thank You for taking the time to read this message.

Yours Sincerely,

Jackson Enoch.
