I'm interested to know if there are any other companies that offer a
service similar to Google Answers. I find the business model to be
interesting and I'm curious why other companies have not entered the
space.

and let me know if this is the type of information you're seeking.

And if not, then what sort of additional information are you looking for?

Thanks for your assistance. Between your input and the comments, I'm
all set. Many thanks to all.

See many prior similar questions.

Look for the "answer" link under community on the left side of the page.

There don't seem to be any charges or prices.

Maybe I'm just biased, but I haven't found one I like half as much! ;)

Dear Aussie TPP, 

Yahoo Answers is like a forum, not like Google Answers.

- The answers are not given by professional, and in fact, anyone can
write anything, which affects the quality of the answers.
- And naturally, a free service cannot stand as an example for someone
specifically looking for services like that in order to learn more
about the business model behind it.
