Excellent post! The problem here is that the professors who are holding positions in these commercial journals (and who possibly would not have so much power in deciding what gets published otherwise), to the disadvantage of all of us but theirs, will not give up their positions in favor of new, free, and open publication channels.
On the other hand, there are some good examples and trends, see for example intechweb.org.
