TDS serves almost 10% of the smartest cities in the U.S.

madisonHave you seen the “Smartest Cities in America” list that’s floating around the web this week? I saw it reported on Venturebeat.com, but I’m sure its also been listed elsewhere. Here’s the scoop: Lumosity has ranked U.S. cities by their raw cognitive performance (based on what they are claiming is the largest dataset of human cognitive performance) and made a list of the smartest cities.

When I took a quick glance at the list I noticed out of the top 100, TDS serves customers in 9 of them:

    Ann Arbor, Mich.
    Appleton, Wis.
    Madison, Wis.
    Milwaukee-Waukesha-West Allis, Wis.
    Minneapolis-St. Paul-Bloomington, Minn.
    St. Cloud, Minn.
    Oshkosh-Neenah, Wis.
    Fon du Lac, Wis.
    And, Des Moines-West Des Moines, Iowa (with Vital Support Systems)

(And 6 more TDS communities are are just a stone’s throw away from others on the list.)

This just confirms what we’ve always known—our customers are pretty darn smart :-).

Missy works on the Corporate Communications team and reports stories to TDS employees and customers. This is right up her alley because she’s an extrovert and also a big fan of research (really, she’ll look up just about anything that strikes her interest). Missy is a native of Madison, Wis. with an undergraduate in Anthropology and a master’s degree in Life Sciences Journalism from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Her interest in the Internet as a mass media shaped her work towards a PhD in Journalism and Mass Communications. She’s also worked as an editorial assistant, copywriter, and production artist. In her off hours, Missy is a crafter, Pinterest addict, reader, wife, and mom of two kids.
