Dear TRAI, I am writing to express my concern against the actions
thattelecom 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 technologicalresource. 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'slong term role in the global market. I stronglybelieve 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
andthose 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, Bikku Bhowal
