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,

Maitrey vikas jha
