Popular Science has a story about the Zetas drug cartel's deployment and use of a vast radio network across much of Mexico and hints at their use of Big-Data/NSA style analysis of thousands of data feeds.

The central character of the story is nondescript radio and car-alarm installer, but once he was captured by US authorities it appears that the Zetas kidnapped the IT talent they needed to keep their networks up and running.

    Regarding the extra taxes taking care of the health issues..... Well, that was what we were told regarding tobacco. And people are still seeing the burden on health care with no regard for the money that's been taken in. I wonder if the taxes even go to health care.....
