Open access is good, but we have to have ways and means where content that has been generated with a lot of effort and cost also gets the chance to monetise itself as is now beginning to happen in the West where some publications are really beginning to make their Internet revenue lines and subscription revenue lines quite significant.

We have these services that people love and that are drivers of data usage... and we want to work this out, so that way, it's a profitable model for our partners.

Public sharing is an important part of science.

Making things open-source brings the cost down.

But the power of science lies in open publication, which, with the rise of the Internet, is no longer constrained by the price of paper.

The beauty of the Internet is there's a niche market for everything, and if you can focus on it, you can build a sustainable and viable business of it.

Being able to compete for consumers' attention and dollars over the preciousness of access is a thing of the past. Everyone is using the Internet to globally market a product.

Over the years, online, we've laid down a huge amount of information and data, and we irrigate it with networks and connectivity, and it's been worked and tilled by unpaid workers and governments.
