I have heard that the new paix switch will be attached as well. But only rumored not sure if its true. On Mon, 30 Sep 2002, Celeste Anderson wrote:

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 would confirm GM's assertion. Also, if you have the luxury of caring more about a smaller set of large-capacity Tier1 private peers, there is some presence of AsiaPac providers doing this at Equinix SJ.
Actually Equinix-Los Angeles has more Asian based Networks coming in for turn-up in October than any other region from details gathered this week. Chunghwa is in as of this week. SingTel, Japan Telecom, Hanaro, are on track for peer-ready in October. DACOM is considering, etc.
so what does that make telehouse-la after all these years... chopped liver? there have been Plenty of asian isp's in los angeles for Quite a while now.
there also seems to be a PAIX switch inside 1 Wilshire now. (mfn's chap.11 filing having sawn off any hope we had of opening PAIX-LA.) - -- Paul Vixie
