Building a TCP/ IP Network Over Dark Fiber?

1101z asks: "Well I work for a public access station in a city where a second cable/phone/internet company has moved just started operating. Part of there deal with the city was to let us have (for free) dark fiber links between several location in the city and our studio, so that we would be able to cablecast live from those locations. As the computer guy I would like to be able to interconnect computer networks that already exist at several of those locations, when we are not using the fiber for cablecast. The question is what is the cheapest way to build a TCP/IP network over this dark fiber." I wonder if the fiber being used is related to this story, from a month ago?

    both found using google with a blod alcohol of at least 3 o/oo (it's about 8 in the morning in norway, and just typing this took at least 10 minutes).

    Actually, I didn't see that post. If I would have read it first, I probably wouldn't have posted or added a comment to it.
