Yes, both are at 511 already. I am sure Mike at FWR has contacts for most if not all companies in the building. I don't mind approaching the contacts I have already but would be more in a suggestive role than as an invitational capacity as I don't quite feel I have, as a not-yet-connected participant, jurisdiction to invite on behalf of MICE or to be able to highlight specific benefits of MICE that they would find appealing. Though I suppose they likely already have their own corporate peering policies defined. A quick check on PeeringDB does not look good for the chances of either joining up to a public exchange. I know Comcast makes a good deal off bilateral peering arrangements; access to their nearly captive audience is worth a fair amount to them I know, from first hand experience.
