I think the best time to do this would be soon after the Let's Encrpyt free CA [1] starts handing out certificates. There's no more good reason not to have HTTPS, so that's a good time to start applying a little pressure and adding the incentive for website authors.
Does google already reward secure sites with higher search rankings? I can't decide if I think that's a good idea or not, but if they want to push for a more secure and free web, that's definitely another avenue.
