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). We are going down a very dangerous path, which all other countries including the United States of America have resisted, if we allow ISPs to end net neutrality.

 

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 kept free and protected under Net Neutrality to ensure fair and equal access for all and forever.

 

Regards,

Rajat Agarwal
