how does a TLD fail?

the business model of the org creating the TLD may fail, but unless they completely shut down the nameservers can the TLD be said to have failed?

The nameservers for the TLD get shut down when the business quits paying its bills, don't they?

At $50,000+/hour for arbitration, those bills could get astronomical fast.
