Public subsidies are already the case, to a greater or lesser extent,
in many countries or groups of countries. For example: Canada, France,
Italy, the countries of Latin America, Europe + South Africa
supporting SciELO, etc...

Perversely, these public subsidies sometimes go to supporting private
companies (the French case is a very good example of this situation).

The US will probably be the last country to adopt such a system, once
Britain relents..., but the university presses of old used to be
subsidized by public or non-profit universities. That was the idea
behind the creation of Johns Hopkins University Press. Some knowledge
of history can be helpful in this regard.

I quote:

"Support all scientific publishing by public subsidies"

Good luck.
