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,
Harsh
