Governments are moving past abstract warnings about quantum computing's cryptographic threat by locking in concrete compliance dates around 2030, but they're splintering over which industries and systems actually need to migrate. This creates a coordination problem: enterprises may face multiple incompatible regulatory regimes. The 2030 date is forcing vendors and infrastructure operators to stop treating crypto-agility as optional long-term planning and start budgeting for it now. But fragmented scope definitions across jurisdictions will inflate compliance costs and create security blind spots where different regions consider different systems critical enough to mandate the transition.
