That's a good point. We'd need someone to write a really gripping press 
release that might have a chance to end up there. Do we have anyone 
who's good at this sort of thing?

In fact, yes, Swisscom bought the entire front page of 20 Minuten :)

And when you read the announcements in the free newspapers, you notice 
that the initial few articles just before/after the iPhone launch were 
probably written in close cooperation (to put it nicely) with the 
marketing people from the respective phone operator. One contained only 
quotes from a Swisscom representative, the other only quotes from an 
Orange one. It really did seem to be the Jesus Phone -- "today, a new 
age of communication between humans begins" (Swisscom wrote something to 
that effect).

Indirect ads -- perhaps we should try that way ;)
