It costs money to set up and maintain a server farm to distribute programming. Not many content creators are capable of doing this not want to get in that business. There could be other/new aggregators that can do this. How will the new aggregators do vs. the current aggregators?

Possibly.
Imagine a household of four, each wanting to watch their own HD content while recording another program or two. Unless you're OK with compressed video, this won't work.

While Comcast and Verizon could have some agreements, there are plenty of areas in the country where there is no service overlap. Do you really expect Verizon to lay down against Time Warner, Cox or Charter because they allegedly have an agreement with Comcast?

I guess I should tell the local (re-)sellers to stop selling the service.

1Gbps demos are nice. I doubt it become a reality in much of America in your previously mentioned 5-year window. 100Mbps would be giant leap for most.

It's much more likely that other utilities (gas, electric) will provide 100Mbps  access.

Competition is usually good. The major SPs will respond appropriately. Time Warner will survive
