Mexico residents face deaths threats from cartel if they don't pay to use makeshift Wi-Fi "narco-antennas" - CBS News (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/mexico-cartel-deaths-threats-makeshift-wi-fi-narco-antennas/)
Dubbed "narco-antennas" by local media, the cartel's system involved internet antennas set up in various towns built with stolen equipment.
The group charged approximately 5,000 people elevated prices between 400 and 500 pesos ($25 to $30) a month, the Michoacán state prosecutor's office told The Associated Press. That meant the group could rake in around $150,000 a month.
Local media identified the criminal group as the Los Viagras cartel.
