Many of us require access to the entire Internet to do our jobs, however.
NAT64 allows you to reach the entire IPv4 network, so you should be able to continue to do your job. NAT64 is already deployed on many mobiles in the US.
Why moving from dual stack IPv4/IPv6 to IPv6 with NAT64?
It ensures that all the OS and client applications can work in an IPv6 only environment while still be able to reach legacy systems (aka IPv4).
