Countdown until UUNET policy affects existing peers

After the fun and games between C&W and PSI....

Will UUNET actually carry through on its stated intention to
retroactively apply its new peerin criteria to existing networks
next January?

>  This Policy is effective January 5, 2001, and applies to all requests for
>  settlement-free interconnection with a WorldCom Internet Network, either
>  via dedicated connections ("direct peering") or via traffic exchange at
>  a multi-party network access point ("public peering"). WorldCom will not
>  apply the Policy with respect to existing agreements for settlement-free
>  interconnection via dedicated connections until January 5, 2002. 

Any wagers on how many networks will UUNET end up cutting off next January?
Does either C&W or PSI meet UUNET's new criteria?
