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,

Anurag Dutta(a college student and daily internet user)
