The successful theory for radio propagation through the interstellar plasma is reviewed, where the density spectrum follows the Kolmogorov model. However, there are also several observations indicating more refraction than expected. A particular model of enhanced refraction is proposed in which isolated regions of the warm ionized medium support filaments of enhanced density on a scale of 1 AU, which do not couple to a turbulent cascade.
