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.This will be the huge step backward in terms of growth for India. We should grow and make internet more accessible and economical to the end user. I can understand telecom companies are getting affected by huge margins but that does not allow or gives right to them to control internet and which website will be cheaper and which will be costlier. If some company some day decides that pure air should be paid as they are losing huge money , we cant allow them to let them .Similarly we cant let these companies to control internet . This companies has no innovation but these useless ideas to make profit. Some strict and serious regulations should be imposed on such companies.
