Apropos to other discussions here, all technology is
dual-use. 

The AP wrote up some more details about the radio/cell/mesh network used
by the Mexican drug cartels,
http://news.yahoo.com/mexicos-cartels-build-own-national-radio-system-200251816.html.

I find the word choice of this article more interesting. When activists
do this sort of thing, the network is cobbled together from bits and
pieces and spare parts. When a drug cartel does the exact same thing,
it's a sophisticated, advanced technological engineering exercise.
