What does it do with all the extra money from the high priced registrations?
Actually, there not so much extra money. The operational costs are quite high because there is no economies of scale as in major TLDs. Everything is run in-house, and not subcontracted to major backend operators. For example, implementing DNSSEC for 80,000 or one million domains is quite similar in cost Patrick
