Did the miners that agreed to that agree to signal for Segregated Witness?, or did they just agree to activate it if it got 80% . . . but they are not promising to vote/signal for it themselves?

I believe the users are going to activate the soft fork and go from there. What has to be assured is that the legacy chain is not moderated or erased in the process.

Are you saying you think it most likely that the BIP148 "thing" "path" is going to be "what happens"?

Before a hard fork. Yes I believe this is what will happen.

Do you think the BIP148 movement will need many of the large businesses (like Coinbase.com, Bitfinex, Bitpay, and the like) on board in order to bring the miners along? Do you think some/many/most of the miners will come along without almost all the nodes and many/most of the "big businesses"?

I haven't heard enough yet to answer that one. Anything I do hear I will be writing about in the future. There should be much upcoming news related to the issue!

Thumbs up, up vote and a thank you to this.
