Respected Sir/Ma'am

I Abhinav Singh, am writing to you today to express my concern against the actions that the mobile service providers are taking to restrict fair access to the internet (Net Neutrality). I believe the internet is a vital resource - it helps us all to communicate, work, relax and thrive as a citizen of our country. If telecom operators can discriminate internet traffic on the basis of which services pay the most to them to be able to promote themselves over some other over the top service, then we are allowing MSPs (Mobile Service Providers) to control a vital and necessary technological resource. By doing so we allow them to define what information we can view; what entertainment we can access; when can we do it, where can we access it 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, nature and country of origin of purpose. I want my generation and those that come after me to have unfettered access to the Internet, with no telcos or ISPs be allowed 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,
Abhinav Singh
