It’s been a week since the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) closed submissions to their consultation paper on OTT services.
More than a million emails were sent as a response to the paper were published online by TRAI with email addresses, with corrective measures applied a few days later.
Overthetop.in, launched by the wonderful folks from the SavetheInternet coalition shows how it should have been done. The site aggregates all the responses into a searchable index, which can be filtered by name, email and comments.
Searching for abusive language on the site reveals the overall high quality of discourse - a majority of the responses were civil, with only 101 emails dropping the F-bomb.
We’ve curated some of the hilarious responses by angry internet users who lambasted the TRAI for trying to regulate the internet.

Sister f****** if you over neutrality we will f**** your a***
From: Anil Goyal
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. and most respectfully f*** you idiots for even thinking this BULLSHIT.
Regards
ANIL GOYAL

Subject: Your F*CKED up neutrality issues.
Dear TRAI (or whatever your worthless full form is),do you even now what freedom is ?? I am seriously against your stupid plan for charging extra for using internet services. First the Airtel company started that,but when nobody paid any attention to it, they turned towards you guys for support & without knowing anything about the freedom of the internet,you bas***** shook hands with them. I don't want to say anything more about this. If you are planning to charge extra,I promise that you will loose many of the mobile internet consumers & at the end you will be thinking that why on earth did we did this. Thanks for showing the whole of India how poor your THINKING is.
