To all the people that have a tethering plan, this is not for you. Not trying to be rude here, its great to know that the hotspot is working for you which it very well should. I'm referring to the people that have had the Nexus 5 (or other android phone), and was able to tether with out issues with an ATT grandfathered unlimited data plan. That has now moved over to the Nexus 6P and is now not able to tether.

**Each time you turn off the portable hotspot or for example turn off your phone you will need to do the old eject sim card routine
Maybe you can try adding this to build.prop :
net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
Reboot your 6P and see if tethering works?
I just received my Nexus 6P, I'm upgrading from a Nexus 5 on ATT, and I'm unable to launch the hotspot. I was just on my Nexus 5 last night, fully upgraded to 6.0 and all, and was able to launch the hotspot just like normal for the past 2 years. When attempting to launch the Portable WiFi hotspot it gives me an error stating "To enable portable Wi-Fi hotspot on this device, go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611." Now I'm 'grandfathered' into unlimited data so giving this up is not an option, but I was curious to see if anyone has found a solution or is having the same problem with ATT. A coworker just got a Nexus 6P as well and is on T-Mobile, does not pay for a hotspot, but is able to use his on his 6P.
1. Root the device , disable Huaweientitlement.apk or add a line in build.prop to disable that
2. Root the device, get a third party app such as foxify to bypass the system tethering routine
