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.
