It seemed that Nokia is receiving the same faith that RIM faced last year over at India. Remember when India and many Arabic countries blocked RIM’s BBM service and even their products until RIM reluctantly give them access to monitor their BBM service? Well, Nokia is also facing a similar situation.

As if abandoning their dear Symbian and comforting their fans on the jump to Microsoft’s platform isn’t enough, now India is going to block the launch of the company’s new push email service until a monitoring system can be put in place.

According to The Economic Times, the Department of Telecommunications is being asked to hold back the service until the intelligence community has a way to spy on messages being sent. Looks like the two companies share more in common than just their slip from the top of the smartphone heap.
