Is web education so mystical enough to pay

There are several sites like http://www.ebizel.com/ that charge Rs. 7585 for a year to provide basic web educationto the hapless masses. The question that needs to be reflected is the mysticness of the Web education.

As per http://www.ebizel.com/products.php
They say "eBIZ Educational and Web Package worth's much more than its cost. We always try to add more features, services and products. For buying eBIZ Educational and Web Package pay Rs. 7585 for a year, which includes cost of eBIZ Educational and Web Package Rs.5500, annual maintenance charge of Rs.1250, 12 % service tax and 3 % Cess Charge on Service Tax to Govt. of India. In US $ 250 (Package cost US $ 200 + annual maintenance charge of US $ 40 + handling charges US $ 10 )." Really so?

Lets do the math. What are they offering? I guess the package is confused target for people who are wanna be bloggers. The way to learn blogging is a mindset stuff than a one year web demystifying mission. Lets get smart and bust the "Demystifying web" theory. Thats the blogging theory isn't it
