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.
Yours respectfully
Christy Joseph
