  We discuss an alternative implementation of the Higgs boson within the
Standard Model which is possible if the renormalizability condition is relaxed.
Namely, at energy scale $\Lambda$ the Higgs boson interacts at tree-level only
with matter fermions, while the full gauge invariance is still maintained. The
interactions with the electroweak gauge bosons are induced at low energies
through the radiative corrections. In this scenario the Higgs boson can be
arbitrarily heavy, interacting with the Standard Model fields arbitrarily
weakly. No violation of unitarity in the scattering of longitudinal electroweak
bosons occurs, since they become unphysical degrees of freedom at energies
$\Lambda \sim \mathrm{TeV}$.
