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 andouille
forever. Regards, LESTER DSOUZA
