RE: ArXiv Grows Up, Adopts Subscription-like Model

[David Prosser <david.prosser@bodley.ox.ac.uk>]

How can a model that, in Philip's words, 'does not really fit the 
definition of "subscription," since access will not be turned off 
for any institution that does not pay the fee, nor will it 
prevent individuals from uploading documents' be described as 
'subscription-like'?

And it is interesting context that Phillip apparently believes 
that subscription models are inherently 'grown up'.
