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 believethe 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 vitaland 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 believethe 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 accessfor all services regardless of size. I want my generation and thosethat 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 Indiancitizen. I would like to seeit kept free and protectedunder Net Neutrality to ensure fair and equal access for all and forever. Regards,
Yours Obediently
Bharat Chandani
