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