Description
We analyse 1.5 μm spectropolarimetric observations of quiet regions at different positions on the solar surface. Neither the circular and linear polarization signals nor the area and amplitude asymmetries present a clear trend with the position on the Sun. This fact discards a network-like scenario for the internetwork magnetic fields. An isotropically distributed magnetic field would reproduce the observations, whatever its organisation (myriads of low-lying loops, turbulent field, etc.).
