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,
Deepak Salgare.
