There's no silver bullet but DWDM will help single fibres transmit 100s of Gbps.
Other useful technologies: massively parallel terabit routers, MPLS, and of course QOS-/ DiffServ to ensure bottleneck bandwidth gets used sensibly. Most local loops & routers will remain bottlenecks for some time - all IMO & I'm probably biased towards Diffserv, which Linux is rather good at in 2.2.
True - but most of the bandwidth will be used to access locally-served TV channels & other content (including cached internet pages). If you buy a premium service you might get extra bandwidth, e.g. for VPN working.
