Microsoft Corp. is expected to unveil a $1 billion investment in Tele-Communications Inc. at next week’s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, an analyst said. The investment would be intended to speed up the development of TV set-top boxes that link TVs to the Internet, Rob Enderle, an analyst with Giga Information Group Inc. in Cambridge, Mass., told Bloomberg News. TCI would use the investment to upgrade its cable-TV network for new-generation set-top boxes. Microsoft reportedly plans to sell software, including the Windows CE operating system, for use in the set-top boxes.
