Most of the info that travels the net needs no "protection". Its value is SO LITTLE that no-one would spend a penny to collect it. We shouldn't be concerned that that info is not encrypted.
What about the info sent by "dissidents" in china and locked up because they said something against the china government, I doubt it's a factor they don't want security, but a cost factor that it isn't deemed needed till someone gets arrested :)
I believe Indy Media groups round the world provides self signed certs at present for this very reason, to allow anonymous submissions that can't be intercepted when sending to their websites... I also believe it's not just china they have to worry about, apparently someone had their door kicked in by the FBI because they were listed in the DNS records...
