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; whatentertainment wecan 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 Iuse on top of
it. Please understand that the internet is an important resource and
vitalto me and to every other Indian citizen. I would like to see it
kept free and protected under Net Neutrality toensure fair and equal
access for all and forever. Regards,
Yours
