You've officially missed the point of the settlement-free peering trial. As mentioned in TFA, it is only beneficial to both parties in a settlement-free peering agreement if the amount of traffic passed between the two networks is almost equal.
After 3 months, the traffic from Cogent wasn't as much as Cogent claimed it would be, and Sprint opted not to continue with the creation of a real settlement-free peering contract.
Nobody pulled out of anything, Cogent claimed their network passed more traffic than it really did and Sprint had no motivation to let them leech for free.
