What if bandwidth is the new oil?

Forgive the self-promotion, but I enjoyed writing this what-if for PC Plus:

Of course, bandwidth isn’t controlled by sheikhs or delivered in trucks, and we’re pretty sure that the US won’t invade a sovereign nation to seize control of its cable TV network – but that doesn’t mean that there aren’t striking similarities between oil, gas and bandwidth.

While I’m thinking about it, dear readers, what’s your take on self-promotion? Would you prefer it if I didn’t link to individual articles? Should I do it more? Could you care less?

If it’s in keep with your blog style, why not.

Well, I’ll read that article later. Wouldn’t know it was there if you hadn’t.

If you can’t shamelessly promote yourself on your own blog where can you?

I think it’s a fair guess that all your readers like your writing. So please do, yes.

Go for it Gary - I read your blog because I like your writing. Same goes for other articles you publish elsewhere.
