But for a smaller provider, it could still have some benefits, provided you&#8217;re willing to accept the risks.<\/p>\n<p>According to an email sent out by Gigabit IQ, which was seen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thinkbroadband.com\/news\/gigabitiq-launching-a-crowdfunding-campaign\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thinkbroadband<\/a>, the scheme is currently in the &#8220;<em>pre-launch<\/em>&#8221; phase.
