1. Internet Service Providers (ISP) should not be the ones to decide which apps/services are used more by customers - so preferential pricing (which obviously would be as per the interests of Telecom providers) should not be allowed.

2. The only criterion that is relevant in communication services pricing is bandwidth - and that should remain the case. The total amount that we use should be charged - the choice of what we use it for - should remain with us and not be regulated by business-houses.

3. Preferential pricing has the potential to destroy free market - and new app/service developers will be ruined and pushed off the market as their profits and innovation will be priced highly by the ISPs due to conflict of interest. This will kill innovation, and in turn hurt customers as well as honest entrepreneurship.

4. Plus, we can't pay someone because they failed to innovate. For customers, freedom in marketplace and best purchase matters more. It makes no sense whatsoever to perennially keep paying profits to someone because once that someone had invested in spectrum.

Keeping these concerns in mind, I urge you to keep the interests of Indian citizens above market players, and maintain full internet-neutrality in India. Internet is a collective resource that belongs to the people, to be used in the way they want. It is a symbol of people's voice and freedom. In the long run, maintaining net-neutrality will help reinforce the spirit of freedom embodied in our constitution. As a concerned Indian citizen, I feel it my responsibility to voice my apprehensions on this issue and make sure that TRAI and GoI address the concerns.
