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, junaid shaikh
