Richard Seitmann, Riesengewinne mit wissenschaftlichen Publikationen, Heise Online, April 4, 2006. (In German.) Seitmann juxtaposes Elsevier's gains in fiscal year 2005 with the new EC report concluding that monopoly STM publishing is harmful and avoidable. His bottom line: as more scientists publish in OA journals and deposit their work in OA repositories, monopoly revenues will come to an end.

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
