Google says you can....

"Like a phone, the tablet can be used as a hotspot. Which is great, because adding a jetpack on to your account costs $20 a month, and tablets are only $10. If you either want to save a few dollars a month by adding a tablet or you want to use your existing Ellipsis (or any other Android tablet) as a hotspot instead of a phone, it can be done. Straight out of the box, in order to acitvate the hotspot, you have to go to settings->More->Tethering and Mobile Hotspot to turn on the hotspot."
Verizon has new rules now for using DATA PLANS so I guess that will figured into this as well...
