While adopting new algorithms will secure future communications, anyone with the capacity to intercept and record messages now can hold on to them until the time large scale quantum computers can be developed to break the old encryption. There will be some advantage to the first one to get such a computer (assuming that one also has the recorded communications protected with current algorithms).
