If one subscribes to the physical paper on a weekly basis, what is the cost? Is it discounted from the cost of buying a separate daily paper?
To me, the price they're going to be charging seems high for a digital edition. That's like, what, $166/yr? As has been mentioned, they don't have the printing or distribution costs, and they will still be hitting the reader with advertisements. So it's a win-win for them if they can get a sufficient number of digital subscribers.
