Exhibit 10.5


COMCAST CORPORATION
2005 DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

ARTICLE 1—BACKGROUND AND COVERAGE OF PLAN

        1.1.    Background and Adoption of Plan.    In recognition of the services provided by certain key employees and in order to make additional retirement benefits and increased financial security available on a tax-favored basis to those individuals, the Board of Directors of Comcast Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation (the "Board"), hereby amends and restates the Comcast Corporation 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"), effective January 1, 2005 (the "Effective Date").

        Prior to the Effective Date, the Comcast Corporation 2002 Deferred Compensation Plan (the "2002 Plan") was in effect. In order to preserve the favorable tax treatment available to deferrals under the 2002 Plan in light of the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 and the regulations issued by the Department of the Treasury thereunder (the "AJCA"), the Board has prohibited future deferrals under the 2002 Plan of amounts earned and vested on and after the Effective Date. Amounts earned and vested prior to the Effective Date are and will remain subject to the terms of the 2002 Plan. Amounts earned and vested on and after the Effective Date will be available to be deferred pursuant to the Plan, subject to its terms and conditions.

        1.2.    Reservation of Right to Amend to Comply with AJCA.    The Board reserves the right to amend the Plan, either retroactively or prospectively, in whatever respect is required to achieve and maintain compliance with the requirements of the AJCA.

        1.3.    Plan Unfunded and Limited to Outside Directors and Select Group of Management or Highly Compensated Employees.    The Plan is unfunded and is maintained primarily for the purpose of providing outside directors and a select group of management or highly compensated employees the opportunity to defer the receipt of compensation otherwise payable to such outside directors and eligible employees in accordance with the terms of the Plan.

Following the completion of such transfer, with respect to the benefit transferred, the Participant shall have no further right to payment under this Plan.

        (b)   The Administrator may, with a Participant's consent, make such arrangements as it may deem appropriate to assume another employer's obligation to pay benefits with respect to such Participant which have not become payable under the deferred compensation plan, program or arrangement under which such future right to payment arose, to the Plan, or to assume a future payment obligation of the Company or an Affiliate under another plan, program or arrangement sponsored by the Company or an Affiliate.

        (c)    Outside Director Stock Fund Credits.    Amounts credited to the Accounts of Outside Directors in the form of Company Stock shall be credited with income, gains and losses as if they were invested in the Company Stock Fund.

        5.4.    Participants' Status as General Creditors.    Regardless of whether or not the Company is a Participant's employer, an Account shall at all times represent a general obligation of the Company. The Participant shall be a general creditor of the Company with respect to this obligation, and shall not have a secured or preferred position with respect to the Participant's Accounts. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to create an escrow, trust, custodial account or fiduciary relationship of any kind. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to eliminate any priority or preferred position of a Participant in a bankruptcy matter with respect to claims for wages.

ARTICLE 6—NO ALIENATION OF BENEFITS; PAYEE DESIGNATION

        Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the right of any Participant or Beneficiary to any benefit or interest under any of the provisions of this Plan shall not be subject to encumbrance, attachment, execution, garnishment, assignment, pledge, alienation, sale, transfer, or anticipation, either by the voluntary or involuntary act of any Participant or any Participant's Beneficiary or by operation of law, nor shall such payment, right, or interest be subject to any other legal or equitable process. However, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, a Participant or Beneficiary may direct that any amount payable pursuant to an Initial Election or a Subsequent Election on any date designated for payment be paid to any person or persons or legal entity or entities, including, but not limited to, an organization exempt from federal income tax under section 501(c)(3) of the Code, instead of to the Participant or Beneficiary. Such a payee designation shall be provided to the Administrator by the Participant or Beneficiary in writing on a form provided by the Administrator, and shall not be effective unless it is provided immediately preceding the time of payment. The Company's payment pursuant to such a payee designation shall relieve the Company and its Affiliates of all liability for such payment.

ARTICLE 7—DEATH OF PARTICIPANT

        7.1.    Death of Participant.    A Deceased Participant's Account shall be distributed in accordance with the last Initial Election or Subsequent Election made by the Deceased Participant before the Deceased Participant's death, unless the Deceased Participant's Surviving Spouse or other Beneficiary timely elects to accelerate or defer the time of payment pursuant to Section 3.5.

        7.2.    Designation of Beneficiaries.    Each Participant and Beneficiary shall have the right to designate one or more Beneficiaries to receive distributions in the event of the Participant's or Beneficiary's death by filing with the Administrator a Beneficiary designation on the form provided by the Administrator for such purpose.

        An Applicant may file a claim for benefits with the Administrator on a form supplied by the Administrator. If the Administrator wholly or partially denies a claim, the Administrator shall provide the Applicant with a written notice stating:

        If the Applicant's claim is denied, the Applicant shall have 60 days from the date of receipt of written notice of the denial of the claim to request a review of the denial of the claim by the Administrator.

For purposes of this Section 10.2, a Subsequent Election to defer the payment of part or all of an Account for an additional period after a previously-elected payment date (as described in Section 3.5) shall be treated as a separate Subsequent Election from any previous Initial Election or Subsequent Election with respect to such Account.

The Participating Company's obligation to credit deferred Compensation to an Account shall be conditioned on the Participant's compliance, to the Participating Company's satisfaction, with any withholding requirement.
