Believe it or not.....Gold over Copper was, a few years ago, and may still
be, the standard approach in the UK, and met British Telecom standards.

The minimum gold thickness was a lot thicker than we are used to here in the
US, however.

So, it is not as totally far out in space as you might expect to want gold
over Copper.
