Disabling Hotspot Functionality

Hello,

I would like to disable the hotspot functionality in this tablet. I want to give this tablet to my customers with a monthly quota of data but I do not want them connecting all their devices and using up all the data.

Any ideas how I can do this?
 
In order to permanently disable an Android feature, you'd need to root the thing. Another option would be to go to a remotely managed setup when you control access from afar (it's used a lot in store kiosks and fleet tracking). I know IBM has an offering but I can't recall what it is. If you wan't I'll look it up, but it's very pricey.

Thanks so much. I'm actually looking for an economical way. Any idea where I can find someone with experience rooting Android phones and how much they might charge for this?

It's very possible that your carrier can block hotspot functionality on their end. So i suggest you contact your carrier and ask them to block it
