48 Million. Yes, lots of votes.

TN (and other states) did not even share their data to the federal DNC, due
to fed's not agreeing to keep theirs up to date and require those
downloading TN data to also sign contract to check w/ TN list as well (since
fed list would be out of date most of the time). No doubt, revenue was a
factor in some states (most have hefty fines they can levy on offenders and
charge telemarketers to access the lsit).  So that is mostly one at a time
signups.

Problem is, just because you could not call TN (and many other states with
similar laws), didn't mean you could not call people in non-protected
states.  The Fed law made it illegal everywhere.

Of course, there is a presumption of effectivness of the law here.  It has
been illegal to send junk faxes for years (long prison terms possible, more
likely to get fines).  We still get them daily. The "removal" info on them
is usually bogus (and I would not doubt now takes you to toll calls outside
the US, as well).  So, a NEW (much hypped) Do Not Fax law is passed,
requiring 800 #'s on junk faxes and that they take you off the list if you
complain. I doubt it will be any more effective.
