No. According to the RCR article:
The relocation process is subject to an arrangement whereby the government will use $1.1 billion from the $13.7 billion total in AWS auction proceeds to fund the transfer of government wireless operations from the 1710-1755 MHz band to other frequencies under varied timelines that stretch up to six years.

T-Mobile hasn't paid that $50 million. They've offered to spend $50 million purchasing equipment the government would need to transition off of the spectrum in question. I know the previous poster doesn't say that so I wanted to clarify for you.
