They notified Cogent, not the public.  Cogent chose to
not do anything other than hope they won the staring
contest when Level 3 terminated the link, which
apparently they did.  Be interesting to see what
will happen in a month when they go at it again.

This is not the first time Cogent has used their customers
as pawns in peering disputes, I don't know if I'd jump on
the bandwagon so quickly (spoken as a customer of both
companies).
