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,
Aritra Mondal
