Among the other qualified bidders is Windstream, which is reorganizing under chapter 11 bankruptcy but got permission from the court for "up to $400 million of its $1 billion in debtor-in-possession (“DIP”) financing" to allow it to continue operating its business as usual, including apparently investing in spectrum, and in its future, if it wins any in the auction.
based on the march 27 date of the above link, my guess is most of the $400 million has yet to be spent and it seems likely that's why the "good cash and cash equivalents" as of march 31 is $432 million.
