Please keep in mind that I'm only an end-user, so I'm not involved nor
interested in business matters, but the most obvious business could be
streaming radios where listeners pay for a subscription
(or where sponsors pay via advertising).
Even pay-per-download sites could develop a business, but after all
they're business models not inherently related to Vorbis.

In fact Vorbis has nothing to do with file-sharing, being "only" a lossy
music codec! :-)
Anyway if Vorbis becomes the de-facto standard, it will be used
even by *pster-like users, but as a nice side-effect.

I think the most important thing would exploit Vorbis, apart its wonderful
quality, it's being patent-free, so no one has to pay Mr. Vorbis in order
to use its format.
Given this important statement, business and the like then may follow
more and better than with the current situation where the leading format
imposes heavy licensing-fees..
