Um... after only surfing their webpage for 30 seconds I found this:
Aus den Statuten:
"Die Stiftung bezweckt, die nötigen Grundlagen für den wirksamen
Gebrauch moderner Methoden der Teleinformatik im Dienste der Lehre und
Forschung in der Schweiz zu schaffen, zu fördern, anzubieten, sich an
solchen zu beteiligen und sie zu erhalten. Die Stiftung verfolgt weder
kommerzielle Zwecke noch ist sie auf die Realisierung eines Gewinnes
ausgerichtet."
(Originalauszug aus der Stiftungsurkunde, Bern, 22. Oktober 1987)
So according to their own documents, they have no commercial interest
(never laughed so hard).
Kind regards,
Viktor

also got a similar email this morning.
On the SWITCH website, I couldn't find a clear not-for-profit statement. It says
that the organization is founded by several cantons and their Universities.
I admit they could actually be a for-profit organization belonging to
cantons -- same as cantonal banks, for example.
But we see a clear example of unfair advertising, and an obvious case for the
anti-monopoly authorities.

I remember that switch itself made years ago some policies to not use the
dns root .ch for advertising. And unfortunatly that's exactly what happens
here, IMHO this mail advertises nothing else than 'switch plus' and their
services.
