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 happen to be associated with a small technology-driven marketing startup in Mumbai. Are you dear Sirs, trying to say that my company may not be able to compete fairly with established giants should the anti-net neutrality initiatives come into being? What if i cannot pay the amount the telecom operators want us to pay? Should I suffer because the regulatory authority of my country does not care about a free and fair market where new business owners can come and change things? 

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.
