Per his blog, Fast.ly is now hosting the npm registry, so the money is not going for hosting. It's to build some kind of sellout business.

Back in July he must've seen this coming because he switched the npm license from MIT to the more restrictive Artistic 2.0: https://github.com/npm/npm/commit/c32391b1efd70a861cebc77e0c...

He's already taken away the download numbers on npmjs.org, so maybe he intends to sell the "analytics" back to the community.

The guy calls himself a Supreme Emporer on his LinkedIn.
