It looks like DT is complaining meta doesn't want to pay even though they don't connect directly anymore?

Exactly correct. A lot of business in Germany is like this, passive-aggressive money taking.

DT is saying they had an agreement of interconnection for payment, Facebook stopped paying, a court said it has to keep paying, and Facebook decided to end the interconnection instead of continuing to pay. DT, in typical German fashion, insists on continuing to receive payment. Because it's Germany, they'll probably go back to court and be able to win another case and forcibly extract payment even though the service is no longer provided.
