Possibilities:
1) Level3 caved, agreed to turn it back up as a settlement free peer.
2) Cogent caved, agreed to paid peering.
3) Neither caved, but both agreed to turn it back up while they negotiate further, and it's possible it will end on 1 or 2, or depeering again.

It's also likely that if either 1 or 2 were true, you'd never know which it was. Unless you are directly involved in the discussions, you would never know if money was or wasn't changing hands. One thing's for sure though, if money is changing hands, it'd be going from Cogent to (3).
