In Finland we have made the opposite. In the high-voltage power lines there are two lightning-conductors on the top of these three conductors actually delivering the power.
Now at least one of the lightning-conductors has a fiber line in it, which is then used to build a fast IP-backbone. The cable gets dozens of direct lightning hits every summer, but without any service degradation...
