Dear TRAI,

The internet's success in fostering innovation, access to knowledge and freedom of speech is in large part due to the principle of net neutrality — the idea that internet service providers give their customers equal access to all lawful websites and services on the internet, without giving priority to any website over another.

I strongly feel allowing telcos to block apps and websites to extort more money from consumers and businesses — an extreme violation of net neutrality.

Please do your bit to protect the rights of consumers, not the profit margins of telcos. I demand access to the free, open internet and an equal opportunity for all to succeed in the internet space, making way for innovation and better choice to the end user.

Please do support netneutrality in India.

Thank you.

regards,

Bodhisatva Datta
