Sir,

This is with regard to the latest petition in front of you to divide the internet into hierarchical blocks where the users will have to pay for certain extent of access.
As a citizen of this country who has a decent understanding of her rights, I believe this is clearly a dent on our right to equality before law. The internet is free and infinite virtual space. Nobody owns it. You in India 'regulate' it. Regulation doesn't entail selling fragments of this space and making access subject to such payment. The internet is not free and haywire. We pay for a net connection and specific net speed. Content here is subject to law of the land.
So there appears no reasonable ground to divide the internet and making it unequally accessible.
This is not a constitutional idea.
Thus, as a citizen, I request you, the highest authority having powers to regulate this neutral and equally accessible space, to let it remain so. This is for the spirit of equality which the most sacrosanct document in this country provides.
