SegWit is used to fix the network so Lightning can be attached later.  Lightning allows you to pay Blockstream for transactions rather than the miners.
Wrong. Lightning Network is open source, thus can be implemented by anyone. You are may be talking about Lightning Hubs which can be run by anyone. There are currently several different teams working on this, i.e. several different implementations.
