All the questions can probably be answered by noting that ARIN is a
non-profit arm of NSI.  You don't see InterNIC without the backups
(although at last report, even they weren't offsite) because they made $45
million dollars profit last year.

Make no money = spend no money.
Make obscene profits = spend as little money as humanly possible.
