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.
In the era where the UN states that broadband is a
human right; ideally a utility that the government must ensure to all
its citizens; we're talking about profits to be earned by the wealthy?
0 and 1 that's all the internet is, and to the internet, all 0's and 1's are same. The data in those 0's and 1's don't become cheap or expensive if I'm seeing YouTube or using WhatsApp. As it is the telecom providers charge me for a fixed amount of data per month, why the extra cost?
