Dear TRAI, 

I am writing to express my concern against the unfair actions that telecom carriers are deciding to take;  to restrict fair access to the internet (Net Neutrality). I am a teacher by profession and the internet is a vital resource of me and my students - 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 telecos 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.Which theory to believe in science and which to discard. Next up will be what a charge on the air that I breath, it completely disregards my first and the most important right, the right to choose what I read, see or hear. 

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 and content. I want my generation and those that come after me to have unfettered access to the Internet, with no telecos or ISPs having the ability to charge for specific services that 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

GUNJAN
