Americans already pay some of the highest prices for wireless and fixed broadband among all developed nations, so less competition probably won't fix that.

Where Should You Spend Your Marketing Budget in 2020? - Business 2 Community
In general, small businesses allocate 7% to 12% of their gross revenues to marketing. This compares with the Small Business Administration's suggestion of spending 7% to 8% on marketing. Of that amount, the total budgeted to digital marketing is expected to rise to 45% in 2020 compared to 42% in 2019. The biggest share of digital marketing expenditures will go to video marketing, and social media ads will account for 25% of the average digital marketing budget.

For example, assume your business is a startup and you expect to gross $100,000 in the first year. With a budget between 12% and 20%, your marketing expenditures should range from $12,000 and $20,000.
