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.
Regards Rohit Pandey
