Perhaps there could be installed a paperbox which is actually an on-demand 3G printer? Basically, "you swipe your RFID dongle, it pulls down a PDF of your favorite newspaper and prints it out, and debits your account." It could be a third-party service that newspapers subscribe to, subsidizing the boxes/paper/toner in exchange for having their paper printable at them.
