Jesus copper is more expensive & time consuming, why!?
Oz exports/produces copper? So maybe just a backwards mining subsidy?
Maybe but like from a networking perspectice it is harder to getndistance on, requires largwrs ducts, shorted cable drumming. There is no economy in which it makes sense, even the actual product would need heavy.... yeah maybe a government would do tat if they were backwards.
