Please think about a case like you wanna use the Internet at home and at the same time the enterprise network via VPN connection. The address you get from the latter network is IPv6 global address but its scope is limited to the enterprise network.

	so do you mean that your enterprise does not have external connectivity?

External connectivity isn't necessarily available for VPN users,
because VPN connection is usually for retrieving resources in
enterprise network like e-mail and web pages.
Even if it's available, you may not love to use degraded-quality
connectivity instead of not degraded one.

	how do you use Google from your enterprise, for instance?

We are told to use home-made search engine, instead of Google ;)
