I would venture to say that to WorldCom, all traffic is destined to a peer, or a customer, and they NEVER pay for traffic. Peering with them is entirely a courtesy from them to you, as they can always see you through their current peers.
Reduced latency? Shorter hop counts? ("Hello, this is customer xxx, why does it take 27 hops for me to get to xyz.com?") Do these not benefit them in any way?
The fact that they failed, having had such extensive peering, proves that peering has no relation to financial difficulties (in my mind, at least)
I don't think "peering could not overcome corrupt financial officers and $3B in debt" equates to "peering has no relation to financial difficulties" exactly. Here's a fun exercise: Drop your 5 busiest peers, and see if your operating costs a) increase, b) decrease, or c) remain the same. -c
