I could see many ways to skin this cat, but, sorry, a public optical fibre network wasn't one of them.
Are you serious? Any concerns about
: security, integrity of service, proprietary hardware and software all plugged into a public or 3rd party network?

ATC did something similar years ago. As an end user of their (centralised) system I have to say I find their level of service as wanting.
Outside controlled airspace I much prefered the "quaint" Radio (and copper ) Flight Service units...with human operators... that often gave invaluable briefings of local traffic + weather information that the automatic/remote system are now oblivious to.
