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
Aman Goyal
