On the client side you will still be dual stack and also be using
PNAT (single, double or distributed) to more efficiently use the
available IPv4 addresses.

There will be service providers that provide client address pools
for those that can't get IPv4 addresses themselves using technologies
like ds-lite to transport the traffic.

On the server side you will be able to purchase the use of a IPv4
address and the packets will be tunneled back to you socks like.

Eventually most of the traffic will switch to being IPv6 and providers
of theses services will disappear as they are no longer profitable
to run.
