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,

Abhijeet Raskar
