Mumbai on Net Neutrality

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.

Due to intense lobbying by telecom operators like Airtel and Vodafone, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) is planning to allow them to block apps and websites to extort more money from consumers and businesses — an extreme violation of net neutrality.

Your email to TRAI can make a huge difference. We strongly urge you to spend a few minutes to go through the questions and write a befitting, logical reply to TRAI explaining why you think Net Neutrality is important. Send your petition to advqos@trai.gov.in
