Paul, et al.
As I have responded privately to to others offlist, while MAE-LA has
withered, the other half of the exchange in LA (LAAP - www.laap.net)
run by the University of Southern California is still active. The
Telehouse LA facility is interconnected to the LAAP exchange and there
are other things in the offing that I am not at liberty to disclose
today, but will be rolled out in the very near future (press releases
being prepared as I write).
So yes, there are viable options in the Los Angeles area for AP
carriers to exchange traffic with other entities here and vice versa.

I have heard that the new paix switch will be attached as well. But only
rumored not sure if its true.
I have heard that the new paix switch will be attached [to laap] as well.
But only rumored not sure if its true.
it's true. there was a launch party recently when the paix switch was
announced for 1 wilshire, and laap was absolutely mentioned along with
the words "just like seattle" with regard to ix interconnect. paix is
late with interconnect to nyiix and ames due to fiber delays, but there
ought to be no such delays for a 1 wilshire switch.
Going to the LAAP website yields no list of members.
Does someone have a current list.
AS20144 would be willing to peer with reasonable folks at the LAAP
but lacking a list (and yes its been asked for in the past with no
reply) we don't know who is there.
