My (pessimistic) prediction is that nothing will change because of this, at least not in the US. In the consumer space, there's little that this awareness will do to illustrate the risk to those who didn't see it before. It's only when abuse of a program like PRISM comes to light in a big way will the average consumer demand change or change their habits. In the corporate space, most already are very wary of putting trade secrets or confidential data into cloud services and those who aren't won't be any more so, I would argue, until they see real impact from improper use/disclosure. Outside of the US? I would hope there'd be more outrage and want for non-US options, but, in truth, most other governments want to be doing the same thing, I'd bet, so just where is the safe harbor is a question many will be asking, I'd bet.
