Wonder what these will look like? Maybe they could be disguised to look exactly like a U.S. Postal letter box, as opposed to a trash can?

Well.... think about it... People aren't willing to pay for PAYT, but they are willing to burden the postal system with junk and... that costs money. So, they're paying for it either way.
