Key Questions - who pays for what and why

• Why is open access important from your
  perspective?
• What are you and your organization doing in terms
  of OA?
• OA is often perceived to be detrimental to
  business when in fact a better way to look at
  this is that we can no longer pretend that we can
  go on with business as usual. What is your view
  on this?
• What and how do you think OA could be sustained
  for the long term?
