Plan-S and Global South

Friends: Will the five publishers of the world - Elsevier, Springer-Nature, Clarivate, Pearson, McGraw-Hill and Cengage - who dominate the world's scholarly and academic publishing markets take control of all publishing activity in the near future to the great disadvantage of scientists, scholars and educational institutions? Widespread of adoption of Plan-S may lead to that, fear some experts.
