Got this from the G2 thread so I take no credit. Just tried it out and it works 100% thought I'd share.
What you'll need:
Root
Root explorer (or something similar)
SQLite editor
1. Activate the hot spot initially in the user interface settings, once it rejects to turn on the hotspot.
2. In root explorer goto data>data>com.android.provider.settings>system>databases>settings.db>systen
3. Press search button then type tether
4. Tap on tether_entitlement_check_state goto the value and edit to 0. Save then reboot phone.
All done. Below is the original G2 thread so make sure to give thanks over there.

It also depends if sprint uses the hot spot provision apk (or whatever they might call it). If they do you can use xposed and x tether to get around it by freezing the provision apk with titanium back up and installing xposed frame work that the x tether module. Below is how they did it for the Galaxy S5.

It all depends on how they tether. If they use an app to verify tether then no but if it's a simple number value ran against their systems like how AT&T is then yes. If you have tibu I'd do a search in there for the word tether and see if they use an app to verify you

No I don't believe that's it. I think thats part of your interface to turn hot spot on and off. Its an apk that you're looking for. They're usually have the name hotspot or tether in them.

Don't think this will be an option. It's a Verizon only app and it verifies the phone is on their network before running. I tried to install it from my phone and it wouldn't work. Couldn't verify network.
The only Verizion exclusive app I can get to work on the tablet is the Indy Car app.

I think this question started out as an A500 port idea then ended up saying it will work on this handset but not that - If you are trying to get the pp to work on your phone - use Market Enabler from the market to spoof your phone on Verizon - works for me here in Australia.
as for the A500 - we have to wait for someone to work out how to set locations another way?
Gotta find a way to fake a phone number for the tablet for the market enabler app to work, but it looks like it'd work if we could fake a phone number

It's more than just a phone number. Verizon verifies you are a customer on their cellular network. With no way for the Iconia to connect to a cell network, no way for app to verify you are a Verizon customer. While you can use the NFL app with WIFI, it still verifies you are on the cell network.

I just picked up my tablet and I noticed that there is wifi activiy and I would like an app that shows what exactly is using the connection since I don't have anything running that should be having a constant connection? So kind of like a firewall but without the need to block programs. I just want to see what is using the connection

Oh, my bad man. I thought you needed to know which network you are on. Sorry about that. In fact I've been looking for something like that too.
You could always try using the data usage feature in your settings to see what might be doing it. Go to it, wait a minute or so and then refresh it. Whatever numbers have changed in that time are the culprits.
Afterwards I'd recommend Droidwall if you actually do want to block certain apps from the internet. Assuming you're rooted that is.

For those that want to tether but don't want to pay your carrier for it...
Root is required.
1) Download your favorite SQL editor. I use SQLite Editor.
2) Open and grant root access.
3) Scroll down and find Settings Storage
4) Choose settings.db (duh)
5) Go down to line 65 and change the value for entitlement check from 1 to 0.
6) Reboot.
7) Profit.
Historically this has stuck through updates as the databases don't change when you update.
Thank you jcase for root!

No need to buy SQLite Editor
For those who don't want to pay for the SQLite Editor app, you can still gain wifi tethering/hotspot with this free alternative.
1. Download the free apps aShell and aSQLiteManager from Play Store.
2. Launch aShell, check the "Root" box, then hit "File Explorer" button.
3. Browse to /data/data/com.motorola.android.providers.settings/databases, and open up settings.db with aSQLiteManager.
4. Now choose the "settings" table, hit "Data" button.
5. "PgDn" until you see "65. entitlement_check" and change that value from 1 to 0.
You're done! Restart and wifi tethering/hotspot will work now.

Yeah it's annoying to have that. I also found foxfi to have random drops in connection so streaming or gaming was affected. The stock app is much more stable with connection.

Just wanted to put this out there since I haven't seen anyone talking about it yet.
I was working with a friends ATT Note 3. I rooted it for him and then began working on modding the native hotspot. When I went to make the smali edits I saw that they were already there. So I fired up the hotspot and it worked. I am assuming this is also true if you are completely stock unrooted but didn't check first.
So if you have not rooted yet please test your hotspot and let us know the results. If you are rooted then the hotspot is definitely open.

That is odd. Maybe his account is messed up. Because he swears he never paid for the hotspot. But the mod which makes the native hotspot work on Sprint devices is already included in the rooted system, again didn't verify the non rooted system. So not sure what is up.

When you turn on your hotspot, if you get a message to call at&t, just press the home button (don't press ok). This should work for you, as it worked for me and many others. And the guy on the previous page that said "press the hinge button", he ment the home button.

Wifi hotspot should work out of the box if you have any mobile share plan. The only group of people who will need any type of third party mode will be those with the grandfathered unlimited. AT&T does not allow hotspot on the unlimited.

In Titanium Backup look for something that says Verizon and shows that Shield. Select and uninstall. Believe mine was called that, but I don't know why yours wouldn't be the same. You can also in the interim go into your apps on your phone and find that Icon and long hold, App Info, and Turn Off until you find the App to force Uninstall on TiBu
