I know in Mexico/other parts of South America they'd kidnap/abduct radio infrastructure workers for setting up/managing comms. Give them a fairly nice life too, except for the whole you're stuck in this position and we'll kill you and your family if you try to leave.

So, basically, go down there with a sign stating what you can do and hope to get kidnapped...

This. For organized crime in a country when 9 out of 10 crimes go unpunished, the fastest way to startup infrastructure is kidnapping experts.

You want to steal from oil pipes? Kidnap a few field workers. You want a solar-powered, encrypted, nation-wide radio network? Kidnap telecom workers.
