The Association of Research Libraries has published an Issue Brief on Wiley's recent acquisition of Blackwell, noting the growing dysfunction in the scholarly journals market that emanates from the decreasing number of large commercial publishers. Dysfunctions include rising prices, onerous contract terms, barriers to sustainability of smaller publishers, and higher barriers of entry for new publishers and titles.
