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!
