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,Bipul sharma
