The Chairman,
Telecom Regulatory Authority of India,
New Delhi.
Dear Sir,
SUB:- NET NEUTRALITY.
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.
