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, Raktima
