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,
Aditya Gurjar
