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-200251.... 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. -- Andrew http://tpo.is/contact pgp 0x74ED336B _______________________________________________ liberationtech mailing list liberationtech@lists.stanford.edu Should you need to change your subscription options, please go to: https://mailman.stanford.edu/mailman/listinfo/liberationtech If you would like to receive a daily digest, click "yes" (once you click above) next to "would you like to receive list mail batched in a daily digest?"
