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,  Hazrath Ali
