if you are looking for US you may want to look into the DNC stuff more
closely, its on you to get (and pay for) the DNC and you arent allowed to
share that DNC.  As such getting a list that has been prescrubbed may not be
totally valid from a legal perspective.  There are other requirements than
the DNC such as not calling emergency numbers, doctors, hospitals, and other
stuff.  You also cant have 2 lines ring at a business at the same time.
There are both FTC and FCC rules on this. This is not a complete list of the
laws either (for example tracking abandoned calls, etc).

Some states require you to register, california for example wants a $100k
bond if you meet certain criteria on what you are doing.  California states
that you must do this even if you dont call from california, but only call
to california.

You really should find someone that is familiar with the laws and complaince
with them if you are serious about doing this.

as a pointer:
16 CFR 310 ftc telemarketing laws
47 CFR 64.1200 fcc telemarketing laws
