Nope, you're wrong.

That's not how settlement-free interconnect works -- Cogent doesn't have a "default" or "last resort" route to send traffic through. It has to send Sprint traffic to Sprint, or starting paying someone for transit (which is what they have done in a number of cases where they were de-peered in the past with Level3, Telia, ATDN, France Telecom, etc). If they just started sending all their Sprint traffic to Level3, they'd be violating their SFI agreement with Level3 who would then be able to de-peer them.

So who is Cogent's last resort?

This can't possibly be every IP in the world.
