Generally speaking, there are still only very few value add services that cater to the rest of the web in a dominantly digital way.
For example, the legal aspects of doing business in the sociosphere (e.g. copyright ownership, stalking in communities, variations of spam in many social environments) are manifold. You could say that the core business of many content companies is in (affiliate & partnership) contract management. Therefore I think it's strange that there are so few online - or at least blended - legal service providers.
And why can't I consult the medical profession over the web for simple things? I'd be happy to pay extra if I could avoid their waiting rooms!
Furthermore, as an industry, the web sector should be ashamed that we're still making such a total mess of online payments. Or should we blame only the credit card companies - pumping billions around the worold every second for the retail sector, and still a pain in the ass for almost every online merchant?
The web will never really mature if this category doesn't grow considerably.
