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?
