Dear TRAI,

I am writing to express my concern against the actions telecom carriers are taking to restrict fair access to the internet (i.e. Net Neutrality). 
As a thriving and growing nation, the internet is a vital resource - it helps me communicate, work, and thrive as a citizen. 
If telecom operators are allowed to discriminate the flow of internet traffic solely on the basis of which services pay the most, we are allowing telecoms control over a vital and necessary technological resource. 
We allow them to define what information we can view; what entertainment we can access; and what companies can innovate. 
This is completely unfair and harms India's long term role as major player in the global market. 
I understand the concern that regulation may deter telecoms from expanding access and speeds, but I strongly believe the growth of telecoms and the well-being of the internet can go hand-in-hand. 
I'm not asking for regulation so strong as to stifle progress, but only a framework to ensure long term and fair access for all services regardless of size.

Please understand that the internet is an important resource and vital to me. I would like to see it protected under Net Neutrality to ensure fair and equal access for myself and all.

Imran
