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,
Aniket Gargelwar
