I emailed Ann Summers a couple of months ago about this and they said that the telecommunications frequency in Cyprus is different to the rest of Europe, in their words 'not harmonious with Europe', and so this apparently runs the risk of the remote control interfering with telephone and communications signals.

I think you'll find that the "egg" is a receiver, so there wouldn't be much point in covering that part!

So that's the meaning of the G in GHz.
