Michael Kenward, The Web that changed the world, Scientific Computing World, May/June 2004. In a one-page reflection on what the web has done for science in its 10 years of existence, Kenward gives half his space to open access. He briefly covers the New Journal of Physics, the Public Library of Science, the UK inquiry, and Google indexing of CrossRef. (PS: It's a nice question. If you had only one page to summarize what the web has done for science in its 10 year life to date, how much space would you give to open access?)

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.
