I love the business model of taking the old-school industry and offer the basic use for free with slick UI and modern look. WOnder if this model can be applied to other fields.

That's a nice perspective. I think it will be more likely to happen where user experience is not so much tied to human interaction like e-commerce. And where network effect is not required eq. social websites.

So, places where an user's exp with the business is individualized- like in this case.
