Totally true, but on the other hand, the first mile will be encrypted for a lot more connections:

"Yesterday, there were about 2 million sites active on the Internet that supported encrypted connections. By the end of the day today, we'll have doubled that."

That's kind of spectacular.

I think the first mile is one of the key places where data gets stolen. OF course the final millimeters-on the server- is another.

Yes, but this (free SSL everywhere) can (and should!) become the bandwagon that all other service/hosting providers and CAs should adopt.
