Mon.Not.Roy.Astron.Soc.348:999,2004 We discuss the effect of dispersion delay due to intervening ionized media in the radio emission of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). For high redshift GRBs ($z \ga 3$), the ionized intergalactic medium (IGM) should be the dominant source of dispersion without substantial...
