What really struck me about the arXiv business model is the phenomenal cost-effectiveness of arXiv. At under $7 per article (that's the total cost!), arXiv manages all of the technical aspects of disseminating scholarly articles - including storage, sustaining a heavily used system, developing the search interface, and even working with publishers so that arXiv also works as a submission platform for some journals. wow!
