HOW-TO: Use your iPhone as a modem - Swisscom allows this in Switzerland
After the provider Orange, Swisscom will offer offer the modem function for using the iPhone to connect to internet, this is called a tethering function or feature.
After the 3rd of July the iPhone can be connected via cable or bluetooth to surf the internet. Of course heavy browsing with pictures and online videos would be very expensive without a data option of course most iPhones are with a combined data and telephone included contract.
Those people who are using a smartphone without a data option or contract think again its much cheaper even with Swisscom check out the below costs.

INFO: Standard light bulbs end in Switzerland in 2010 (Incandescent light bulb)
INFO: The end of Standard light bulbs in Switzerland in 2010 (Incandescent light bulb)
Since 1880 it has been a good replacement for wax candles no the end nears in Switzerland.
The government in Bern has decided that no standard light bulbs (incandescent lamp) may be sold after 2010. The good news is that almost 1000 million Watts can be saved per Year.
I would buy a little stock for low used bulbs examples are in the cellar, storage rooms and other low use areas. Due to the fact that these are cheaper, are less susceptible to cold/humidity damage and generally it does not make senses if they are only used a few hours per Year.
