ISP's have done a good job of brain washing their customers into thinking that they shouldn't be able to run services from home. That all their machines shouldn't have a globally unique address that is theoritically reachable from everywhere. That NAT is normal and desiriable.
I was at work last week and because I have IPv6 at both ends I could just log into the machines at home as easily as if I was there. When I'm stuck using a IPv4 only service on the road I have to jump through lots of hoops to reach the internal machines.
I expect this to change little in the enterprise space. I think use of ULA and NAT66 will be one of the things enterprises will push for, because how can a printer have a public IPv6 address that is reachable directly from the Internet, despite the fact that there is a properly configured firewall at the perimetre offering half-decent protection?
