What would your recommended solution be then for disconnected networks? Every home user and enterprise user requests GUA directly from their RIR/NIR/LIR at a cost of hunderds of dollars per year or more?
A typical home user will have a /56 of GUA, or maybe a /48 with some ISPs. Anybody who knows enough to figure out how to set a ULA can figure out a /64 from their GUA space that's not being auto-assigned by one of their various home routers. So if that's the way you want to do things, it won't cost you or your ISP anything.
If your ISP is only assigning you a /64 of GUA, that's another story.
If your ISP assigns you less than a /48, ask them to fix it. If they refuse, get a new ISP or use that ISP to connect a tunnel to someone who will give you a /48. Owen
