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
Tanya
