I love fix stuff! Repair schematics make me ecstatic.

It's really already happening to a degree, see GE FILTERGATE. The original site is down but you can still find the info on the situation. In the next iteration the fridge will probably inform you directly, "You have used up all of your ice credits for this period. To continue enjoying ice please log onto our website, choose your ice subscription level and make a payment."

Edit: Follow-up to article, it seems like it would not totally shut-off the ice, but you still had to use their specific filters.
