This is a great start, but it is not enough.
We need to keep pushing for other journals, IEEE, Springer, Elsevier, to be open access and free for all.

IEEE may do it, as it's a professional organization. That is, they're a non-profit dedicated to the furtherance of the field. Being open access fits their mission, and the costs can be handled by dues and fees. Springer and Elsevier are for-profit publishers. I don't know how if they can have an open-access business model.
I'm not sure "open access" in this context actually means, err, that the access is actually open.
What do you mean? Open access means exactly what it says.
