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,
Sagar varale
