As I read it: From http://www2.uu.net/peering/ "and adjusts the minimum operating requirements to current traffic levels.." Then you have not made the same investment in infrastructure, and therefore are not a *peer*.What if you are a web hosting company with data centers in a few large cities (chi, dal, la, nyc, sf) and don't meet UUNET's requirement to be located in 15 US states. The International problem is definitely a different issue. The existing model will probably hold true until the US is no longer the "center" of the network (traffic wise).What if you are a major Canadian provider with POPs in every province from coast to coast, but only a few locations across the border in the USA. What if you are a major South American or African provider covering those entire continents, but with little presence in UUNET's strongholds of US, Europe and Asia.
